A specialist in 'e-multiculturalism', helping portals to adapt their offer to different international markets, Datawords has reached a new stage in its development by welcoming among its investors Cathay Capital, Keesight Capital and BpiFrance.

The company, launched 15 years ago, still stands on firm ground with its long-standing investor, Capzanine. 

"Datawords plans on paying special attention to the recognition of its discipline, e-multiculturalism, among premium North American brands, thanks to the New York office opened last year, and Asian brands, now that the Tokyo office is in full flow and with the plans for the opening of a new one on mainland China," the management explains. "Datawords' strategic development plan takes into account both the company's organic growth and the opportunities afforded by external growth."

Datawords is currently established in France, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, South Korea, Hong Kong, Japan and the USA.

The company has a staff of 320 employees of approximately forty different nationalities, and generated a turnover of €30 million in 2014, 70% of which outside of France.
