What Kanopée by Constellation does

Kanopée by Constellation (formerly Cloud University) is a French professional training provider and wholly-owned subsidiary of Constellation, a top-50 French digital services group (ESN) operating 15 agencies with 800+ staff and 1,500+ clients. Founded in 2019 and rebranded under its current name in 2022, the company is headquartered in Saint-Cloud, France, and operates as a SARL with €1,000 of capital and a core internal team of 8 staff. Its mandate is to train and sensitize organizations and individuals to the joint challenges of digital and environmental transformation, organized around three pillars: Technological (cloud, cybersecurity, databases, infrastructure), Responsible Digital (eco-design, carbon footprint, lifecycle analysis), and Climate/Environmental (Climate Fresque, Biodiversity Fresque, carbon accounting).

The offering comprises 176 training courses delivered by a curated network of 45+ certified consultant trainers, including vendor-authorized tracks for AWS, Microsoft, and Oracle, ISO/EBIOS/PECB certification preparation (ISO 27001, ISO 27005, EBIOS Risk Manager, VERITAS DPO), and movement-based workshops (Fresque du Climat, Fresque du Numérique). Course formats span in-person inter-enterprise sessions, intra-enterprise in-house programs, remote live distance learning, and a subscription-based e-learning product. The company holds Qualiopi certification since 2020 and is Datadocké, enabling access to France's CPF and OPCO funding channels; it is also integrated with Mon Compte Formation and France Travail for individual learner funding. Distribution leverages Constellation's 15-agency enterprise sales force, the website (kanopee.io), direct email engagement, and partnerships with vendors (AWS, Microsoft, Oracle, Impakt/Ekyo) and associations (Fresque du Climat, Fresque du Numérique, My Data Solution).

The revenue model is fee-for-service professional training, with per-participant pricing ranging from €190 HT for awareness workshops to €4,015 HT for multi-day certification tracks, plus an undisclosed subscription price for e-learning. The customer base spans French PME, ETI, and large enterprises (delivered as intra-enterprise in-house programs or inter-enterprise public sessions), IT and digital professionals, and individual learners funded via CPF. The company does not operate a proprietary technology platform; training delivery runs on Microsoft Azure-hosted infrastructure and integrates third-party tools such as Impakt's Ekyo carbon-accounting SaaS. Quantitative scale signals include 925+ persons trained in 2025, a 4.6/5 general satisfaction score (with individual workshops scoring 4.36–5.0/5 over a 24-month average), and 176 active courses in catalog.
