Innov Akademy

What Innov Akademy does

Innov' Akademy is a French private training and e-learning consultancy founded in March 2020 by Betty Abiliou and headquartered in Bordeaux with a second office in Paris. The company operates as a single-member SARL with approximately 13 employees and qualifies under French training quality standards (Qualiopi, 2021). Its core business is the design, modernization, and delivery of corporate training content in digital, mobile, and blended learning formats, serving HR and Learning & Development teams across French enterprises.

The company's product portfolio spans three offerings: a catalog of 35 ready-to-use training modules across five thematic areas (Prévention & risques, Com' et collaboration, Développement pro & perso, Ingénierie pédagogique, People & leadership); gamified monthly microlearning 'Challenges du mois'; and a Master Class IA & Conception program that teaches multimodal e-learning design using AI technologies. Underlying this is a tool-agnostic production stack of roughly ten authoring platforms (Articulate, Rise, H5P, Genially, Beedeez, TeachOnMars, among others) chosen per project on pedagogical fit, combined with a fully in-house production workflow covering pedagogical engineering, graphic design, motion design, and an interactive podcast studio. A beta-testing process and shared project management dashboard are used for quality control and client transparency.

Commercially, Innov' Akademy runs a sales-led, consultative GTM targeting HR, L&D, and training decision-makers, with custom-quote pricing for enterprise projects and shelf pricing from €30 HT per catalog module. Revenue streams include one-time catalog licenses, professional services for custom and intra-company training, and a recurring subscription model for the monthly challenges. The company has served 44 clients across 89 successful projects since founding, with named logos spanning energy (TotalEnergies TPA), construction and infrastructure (Eurovia, FNTP, CCCA-BTP), insurance (SwissLife), pharma (Virbac), aerospace (Safran), retail (Pickup, THOM), public sector (Ville de Paris), and others. Marketing is anchored on organic content (blog, monthly newsletter, monthly webinars, whitepaper, podcast, LinkedIn) plus channel partnerships with Darwin Ecosystème (incubator), CCCA-BTP, EdTech France, and La French Tech. The firm is bootstrapped with no external investors disclosed, achieved its first international client in 2022, and has not publicly disclosed revenue.
