Paris, France – April 29, 2026 – 8:00 am CET. Claranova (Euronext Growth Paris: FR0013426004 – ALCLA) is expanding the integration of artificial intelligence at the core of its operations both in its internal processes and in the development of its products and solutions for enterprise customers. This momentum builds on the Group’s growth strategy and fully leverages the technological advances and the new opportunities artificial intelligence offers.
This acceleration will result in a reduction of approximately 20% of its workforce, affecting both employees and consultants across all functions and offices of the Group. These reductions will be initiated during the fourth quarter of the 2025-2026 fiscal year with careful support provided to the individuals concerned.
The costs related to this restructuring are expected to represent less than 1 million euros, covering severance payments and notice periods. The Group will gradually reduce its office space transitioning to more flexible coworking solutions better suited to its organization’s current modes of collaboration. This significant reorganization will generate net annualized savings of nearly 2 million euros in payroll expenses considering the various additional investments the Group plans to make to recruit new specialized roles. These cost savings will begin to be reflected in the Group’s results starting in the next fiscal year.
New roles dedicated to artificial intelligence
Alongside these workforce reductions, the Group intends to create new, highly specialized roles focused on the integration and orchestration of AI within its operational processes as well as on the development of its high value-added solutions and products. The Group will continue to invest in its talent to consistently maintain the highest level of excellence within its teams, enabling them to master the most advanced artificial intelligence tools and fully leverage them for the benefit of clients and the company’s competitiveness.
“Our employees have built Claranova with passion, rigor, and remarkable commitment. The quality of their work is the foundation of everything we have accomplished; I wish to express my sincere and profound gratitude to them. AI is accelerating our need for certain types of talent. This transformation reflects a reality we cannot ignore: the level of demand on software publishers in terms of speed, profitability and value creation has changed. AI does not replace human ambition; it opens new avenues of growth and redefines the skills required to achieve it.” said Eric Gareau, Chief Executive Officer of Claranova.
