What Edebe Audiovisual does

Edebé is a Spanish educational publishing group headquartered in Barcelona, organized as a private limited company (Edebé Educación, S.L.), serving the full K-12 spectrum from Educación Infantil through Bachillerato across Spain and, through subsidiaries in Lima (Peru) and Bogotá (Colombia), select Latin American markets. The group operates a dual business: a traditional publishing arm that issues textbooks, religious education materials, foreign language curricula, practice workbooks, and a children's and youth literature catalog (including the 34-year-old Premio Edebé award), and a digital ecosystem anchored on the EdebéOn+ platform.

Underlying the digital stack are three core technology assets: EdebéOn+ (an integrated classroom hub with content projection, virtual classroom management, task and assessment tools, and the Adi AI assistant), Adimat (an AI-powered adaptive mathematics platform built on 20+ years of neuroscience research and deployed on Google for Education infrastructure), and CloudLabs (300+ virtual science simulations across Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Technology). AI capabilities span generative content creation, autonomous student-monitoring agents, automated evaluation and report generation, and a recommendation engine for personalized learning paths; the stack is LOMLOE-aligned, available in Spanish, Catalan, Basque, English and French, and integrated with Additio for competency-based evaluation, Moodle, and Apple/Microsoft device ecosystems.

The revenue model mixes recurring subscription licensing for digital platforms (EdebéOn+, Adimat, CloudLabs sold via institutional sales and an online license store) with one-time sales of physical books, workbooks and children's literature, plus professional services revenue from teacher training and webinars. Go-to-market is sales-led with a dedicated institutional advisory team, supplemented by a self-serve online channel, foreign rights distribution, and channel partners in Latin America. The company holds Spanish ENS medium-level security certification and is the only Google Cloud Partner for educational products in Spain — both of which are relevant for public-sector K-12 procurement.
