Vivendi SE is a France-based media and content group headquartered in Paris and listed on Euronext Paris. The company operates Canal+ Group (pay television and streaming), Havas (communications and marketing services), Gameloft (mobile gaming), Prisma Media (magazine publishing), and Dailymotion (online video). Its activities span Europe, Africa, and other regions, providing audiovisual content distribution, advertising and communication services, and digital entertainment.
Founded in 1853 as Compagnie Générale des Eaux, the group shifted from utilities to media in the late 1990s, adopting the name Vivendi (and briefly Vivendi Universal) before refocusing on its current portfolio. Vivendi does not produce chemicals; its relevance to industrial sectors is through media, advertising, and distribution services that support corporate communications and market outreach.
Also known as Vivendi Universal.
