What GENERATION NUMERIQUE does

Génération Numérique is a privately held French B2B media agency headquartered in Meudon (Paris suburb), founded in 2014 by Stéphan Faudeux and Nathalie Klimberg. The company operates an integrated 360° model spanning press and book publishing, consulting, and event organization for the audiovisual, broadcast, cinema, and new media technology industries. Its core assets are two B2B trade publications — Mediakwest (television, cinema, new media) and Sonovision (corporate AV communication and integration, acquired in 2015) — distributed via print, dedicated websites, iOS and Android apps, and e-newsletters, plus the annual SATIS-Screen4ALL exhibition (acquired in March 2017) with 230 exhibitors and partners and 60+ conferences, and the Moovee video aggregation platform hosting SATIS TV replays and exclusive Avance Rapide content. The company has expanded into adjacent product lines including specialized book publishing (e.g., 'Réaliser son premier film en Réalité Virtuelle') and event communication services such as online seminars, webinars, and press conferences with live video streaming.

The business generates revenue from five streams: annual magazine subscriptions, event exhibitor and attendee fees at SATIS-Screen4ALL, B2B advertising and sponsorship across print, web, mobile, and newsletters, consulting and editorial services, and one-time book sales. GTM is event-driven and sales-led, anchored by SATIS-Screen4ALL as the primary customer acquisition touchpoint, with business development handled by a small in-house team (4 core employees plus a network of journalists and speakers) operating out of a single Meudon office. Customer segments span TV/cinema/new media professionals, corporate communication and AV integration buyers, education/museography/public venues, event professionals, and AV technology vendors/advertisers primarily in French-speaking markets, with editorial coverage extending internationally to NAB, IBC, ISE, MIP, and the Cannes Film Festival. Technology partnerships (OVH for cloud, Okast for video distribution, Mailjet for email, Google Analytics for measurement) support a multi-platform content distribution system rather than proprietary AI capabilities. Ownership is concentrated with the two co-founders; no external funding rounds have been disclosed, and the entity is registered as a SAS (SARL designation in privacy materials) with €1,500 share capital.

Broad incumbents

• Comexposium: Major French-headquartered B2B exhibitions organizer running dozens of trade shows in tech, media, and adjacent categories. Same French-market event-driven model with much greater scale across event verticals.
• Future plc: UK-based B2B and consumer media group with strong portfolio of B2B tech and AV titles, and growing events business. Comparable in combining niche B2B publishing with adjacent events and digital content monetization.
• Informa plc: Global B2B events and media group that owns IBC, ISE, and numerous B2B media brands across technology verticals. Operates the dominant European B2B events/media franchise in categories where Génération Numérique competes.
• Reed Exhibitions (RELX): World's largest B2B exhibition organizer with portfolio covering media, entertainment and AV-related events. Direct comparable in operating model (B2B trade events for tech/media buyers) though at vastly greater scale.
• NAB Show: The leading North American broadcast and media technology convention, covering TV, radio, online video, and audiovisual production. Comparable audience of broadcasters, producers and AV technology vendors, with much broader geographic and scale footprint than Genum.

Direct peers

• TVBEurope: B2B trade publication covering European broadcast and AV technology, comparable in serving the same audiovisual production/broadcast decision-maker audience as Mediakwest. Closest English-language direct competitor in editorial coverage.
• ISE (Integrated Systems Europe): Major European AV systems trade show owned by AVIXA and CEDIA, covering pro AV integration, digital signage, and unified communications. Direct overlap with Sonovision's AV-integration coverage and SATIS-Screen4ALL's Screen4ALL forum.
• IBC (International Broadcasting Convention): Flagship European broadcast and AV technology event organized with the IET/IBC Partnership, comparable in audience (broadcasters, content creators, AV tech vendors) and category (audiovisual/media technology trade show) to SATIS-Screen4ALL.

Regional players

• BIMF / Audiovisuel Magazine (French pro-audio sector press): Long-running French-language pro audio and broadcast publication; same French market and audiovisual professional readership as Sonovision and Mediakwest, with overlapping advertiser base.

Emerging players

• Salon SATIS historique (pre-acquisition industry observers): Specialty French trade media site for pro AV and event tech professionals. Smaller in scale than Genum but operates in the same French-language B2B AV media segment.
