Némopolis
Laureate
of the Entreprendre network (sponsored by M6, Oséo
Anvar, Epson and BNP Paribas), studio and editor Némopolis
earned in just three years a place in a much coveted niche
: edutainment software. This young and innovative
company actually developed an original, upmarket catalogue
: its educational video games lead children ages 7-12
to discover history and patrimony of the cities and
territories of Europe.
A STRONG DEVELOPMENT OF THE DIRECT RETAILING
NETWORK
During 2006-2007, Némopolis conquered a position on the computer game market by developing
its direct retailing network (600 outlets) through newly targeted
channels : culture and tourism with the shops of the Réunion
des Musées nationaux (Invalides, Louvre, Fontainebleau…),
and the Centre des monuments nationaux (Arc
de triomphe…) ; Dusserre (wholesaler for private castles),
tourism information offices, Bayard et Reader’s Digest
catalogues, and BHV.
A GROWING REPUTATION AMONG THE PRESS FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE
Simultaneously, Némopolis reinforced its reputaton among the main media for the youth,
mainly for children ages 7-12 (the main target audience) :
th games are now recommended by Okapi and Images Docs (Bayard
Press) and are labelled « Coup de cœur Fnac ». Némopolis recently earned LE PRIX DU MULTIMEDIA JEUNESSE 2007 for its latest title,
« L’Oricou, enquête à Paris sous
napoléon »
(« The Vulture »).
PRESTIGIOUS PARTNERS AND INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The institutional partners, CNC (Ministry
of Culture), Oséo Anvar, the European Commission and
the region Poitou-Charentes confirmed their support
in 2007. Furthermore, Némopolis attracts new partners : the next game, currently under development,
is co-edited with the Domaine national de Versailles
of which the president, Christine Albanel, has recently been
appointed Minister of Culture.
