EFALIA Acquires Civictech Pioneer Fluicity, Bolstering International Presence in e-Governance

Fluicity counts among its clients a hundred public actors, many of which are based outside national borders, such as the Brussels Region, the Walloon Region, the Ministry of Water in Morocco, and the City of Cape Town in South Africa. As for EFALIA, it achieves 50% of its turnover in the public sector in France, with over 80 departmental councils and about fifty municipalities to its credit.

With this acquisition, EFALIA continues its external growth strategy and expands its international presence, especially in Belgium where Fluicity is based (Brussels).

"Fluicity's online platform is a natural complement to our user relationship management solution for our institutional clients. At a time when governments and public organizations must reinvent themselves to offer their constituents innovative tools for democratic participation, this new addition provides real added value to our e-Gov offering,"

declares Pascal Charrier, CEO of EFALIA.

"Moreover, Fluicity's ability to convince a large community for export fits perfectly with our international growth strategy."

Let's recall that EFALIA, which currently has over 2,500 clients worldwide with a turnover of 18M €, has acquired 7 companies over the past six years.

"EFALIA will enable us to strengthen our development capabilities, including internationally. We are very motivated to join such a robust, socially committed structure that's already active in e-governance,"

concludes Julie de Pimodan, Co-founder and CEO of Fluicity.
