UNOWHY, a key player in the digital transformation of education
With over 15 years’ experience, we design sovereign and inclusive digital solutions to support pupils, teachers and local authorities in their educational and digital activities.
The principles that guide us
Inclusive tech
50% of our workforce are women, 60% of whom hold management positions
Healthy screen use
Training for pupils, parents and teachers in responsible digital practices
Sustainable digital
Eco-friendly equipment and extended product lifespans to reduce the environmental impact of digital technology
Equipping every pupil with digital skills
At UNOWHY, we believe that schools should enable every pupil to master digital tools so they can take control of their own future.
Our mission: to provide digital solutions that are independent, responsible and tailored to the practical needs of teachers, pupils and local authorities.
In just a few years, UNOWHY – which now has over 200 employees – has grown from a promising start-up into a dynamic French mid-sized company, proving that European digital sovereignty is within reach!

By bringing all stakeholders together around a shared vision, we are building, step by step, the digital school of tomorrow.
