What Handiamo does

Handiamo is a French social and solidarity enterprise (ESUS-certified) operating as a dedicated disability sport agency, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Nogent-sur-Marne, Île-de-France. The company was established by Michaël Jérémiasz, a Paralympic wheelchair tennis champion and Chef de Mission of the French Paralympic delegation at Paris 2024, alongside co-founders Jonathan Jérémiasz and Richard Warmoes. Handiamo combines Paralympic athlete representation (a roster of 15+ athletes including Paris 2024 medalists Mathieu Bosredon and Timothée Adolphe) with bespoke disability awareness events, the annual inter-company 'Ensemble' event, the HANDISTANCIEL® remote training suite (HANDISCUSSION, HANDIGITAL/Handiquiz, HANDISTANCE), turnkey adaptive sports equipment rental, and enterprise disability policy consulting. The technology stack is a non-public platform built around event logistics, connected hand-e-bike race experiences, and remote conferencing — no proprietary software product is sold standalone.

Handiamo sells exclusively to enterprise, public sector, education, and nonprofit buyers through a direct field sales motion, with named accounts including Accor (founding Ensemble partner), PwC France, Unilever, BNP Paribas, Accenture France, RTE, Boulanger, Verisure France, and Disneyland Paris, alongside government clients such as the Départements de la Moselle and Saône-et-Loire, the Fédération Française de Tennis (Roland Garros), and PSG. Revenue is generated via per-event professional services fees (financed through corporate RSE/HR or AGEFIPH budgets), usage-based equipment rental, recurring tripartite AGEFIPH-aligned contracts (up to 10% of the company's contribution), tax-deductible partnership agreements (60% deduction), and multi-year image rights contracts. The firm operates with ~12 employees and has served over 400 organizations cumulatively, with flagship events engaging 50–3,000+ participants per activation.

Scale indicators5 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Adecco Group: Global staffing and workforce solutions company with dedicated disability employment and inclusion initiatives (e.g., Adecco Inclusion). Comparable as a broad incumbent addressing the same enterprise buyer need (disability recruitment, retention, and awareness), but at much larger scale and without the Paralympic-athlete content angle.
• Capgemini: Global consulting and technology services firm with an active disability inclusion practice and corporate mission handicap programs in France. Comparable as a broad incumbent in enterprise disability inclusion advisory, though its engagement model is consulting-led rather than sport-experiential.
• Sodexo: Global food services and workplace experience company with an established diversity and inclusion practice that includes disability awareness programs for enterprise clients. Comparable as a broad incumbent operating workplace inclusion programs at scale, though disability sport is not Sodexo's core focus.

Direct peers

• Comité Paralympique et Sportif Français (CPSF): The French Paralympic Committee, the national body coordinating the Paralympic movement in France. Comparable because it works with the same elite Paralympic athletes, organizes major disability sport events, and partners with public-sector actors on inclusion initiatives — directly mirroring Handiamo's event and athlete-engagement focus.
• Fédération Française Handisport: The French national federation for disability sport, operating in the same adaptive/para-sport space in France. Comparable because it develops Paralympic athletes, organizes disability sport events, and runs disability awareness programs for schools and enterprises — directly overlapping with Handiamo's athlete representation and event organization.
• Special Olympics France: The French branch of Special Olympics, providing adaptive sports training and competition for people with intellectual disabilities. Comparable because it organizes large-scale adaptive sports events, partners with enterprises and public institutions on awareness programs, and competes for similar disability-inclusion budgets.

Emerging players

• Talentéo: French media and consulting platform focused on disability employment and inclusion. Comparable because it engages with the same enterprise buyer (HR / mission handicap teams), works with disability advocates and Paralympic athletes, and sells awareness / recruitment content to corporates — partially overlapping with Handiamo's inclusion content and consulting offerings.
