EDG Targets 30% of Revenue From AI by 2027, Plans Software Products

European Digital Group is setting up an AI centre of excellence under Guilhem Bodin and aims for AI to generate 30% of its revenue by 2027, with new software products planned.

European Digital Group (EDG) is creating a centre of excellence dedicated to artificial intelligence and has put Guilhem Bodin in charge, after eight years at Converteo. The group's stated goal is for AI-related activity to account for 30% of its revenue as early as 2027.

The new unit is meant to support the 30 companies that make up the group as they change their ways of working and develop new offerings. In other words, it is designed as a shared resource rather than a standalone business line.

A "Factory" to turn expertise into software

Beyond the productivity gains expected from AI, EDG is planning a "Factory", a studio tasked with converting the group's sector expertise into solutions that combine services with SaaS. Several products are announced for 2027.

The underlying aim is to sell reusable software to multiple clients. That would let EDG build revenue that depends less directly on the time spent on consulting assignments, a model that traditionally ties income to headcount and billable days.

Scale of the group

EDG reports more than 2,600 employees and revenue of €320 million in 2025. A 30% share from AI would therefore represent a substantial slice of the business within roughly two years, although the group has not detailed how that figure will be measured.

For clients, the move signals that a consulting-led group wants to offer packaged, product-based tools alongside its traditional services. For the market, it is another example of services firms trying to add recurring software revenue as AI reshapes how consulting work is done. The first products from the Factory are due in 2027.
