Outperforming organic growth
This outperformance is based on two criteria:
1. Constant growth in the revenue of our historical customers,
2. The increase in certain non-budgeted accelerators, such as new initiatives with the United Nations.
OUTLOOK
Without AAA, the 2023 revenue objective is €280m and the associated profitability goal is 12.5%, while financing the creation of 2 Business Units specialised in AI (one in Barcelona, one in Glasgow) for €1.2m.
