Adelaïde Group launches corporate university to drive growth and develop talent

Adelaïde Group  announced the creation of its corporate university, a new cornerstone of the broker’s Better Future 28 strategy. The initiative is designed to make learning a driver of performance as the group continues to expand, reporting €450 million in revenue for 2024 and maintaining its ambition to become Europe’s leading independent family-owned broker.

Adelaïde University will serve the group’s 3,000 employees and is organized into six faculties: Business, Data/Finance/Actuarial Science, Management and Humanities, Social Protection, Enterprise Risks, and Technology. Each is co-led by an academic director and a sponsoring executive, with subject matter experts ensuring programs reflect real-world needs.

A scientific committee—co-chaired by economist Pierre-Charles Pradier and Jacques Verlingue—will guide educational quality, validate program content, support experimentation, and strengthen academic and industry partnerships. The university delivered 68,300 hours of training to 2,300 employees in 2024. The goal is to have 15 percent of the workforce certified by 2028.

The rollout will continue through 2026 with finalized faculty roadmaps, new certification programs, and expanded collaboration with industry experts.
