ChapsVision, a French player specialising in digital transformation and data management, is accelerating its development in the field of artificial intelligence with the acquisition of Sinequa, a company renowned for its AI-based search and analysis solutions. Joffe & Associés (Thomas Saltiel, Camille Malbezin, Charlotte Viandaz and Alexia Guyot) advised SINEQUA and the sellers on this transaction.
This strategic acquisition consolidates ChapsVision’s position as a major player and strong competitor in the information technology sector, often compared to the emblematic Palantir, but with a European and sovereign approach. At the same time, the company closed a third round of financing, for an amount close to €85 million, with its historic investors (Tikehau Capital, a specialist in alternative asset management, Qualium Investissement, Bpifrance and GENEO Capital), as well as its new investor, Jolt Capital. Joffe & Associés (Thomas Saltiel, Camille Malbezin, Charlotte Viandaz and Alexia Guyot) advised JOLT on this transaction.
The integration of Sinequa into the ChapsVision portfolio will merge Sinequa’s advanced data analytics capabilities with ChapsVision’s business solutions. This move is part of an overall strategy to create an integrated data monetization platform for regulated sectors such as finance and defence, while affirming a strong commitment to technological sovereignty.
With this acquisition, ChapsVision has strengthened its position in the European AI market, consolidating a unique expertise that should enable it to become ‘the European benchmark publisher in massive data processing’, according to BPI France.
