20/08/2026

EFOR becomes an official Kneat partner to advance digital CQV.

Two CQV and digital validation leaders join forces

We are excited to announce that Efor is now an official Kneat partner. This partnership brings together two recognised leaders in their respective fields — Commissioning, Qualification & Validation (CQV) for Efor, and digital validation for Kneat — around a shared ambition: helping quality, compliance, and validation teams in life sciences work in a more connected way, without ever losing the human expertise at the centre of critical decisions.

Kneat’s CEO visits Efor’s Lyon headquarters

Eddie Ryan, Kneat’s CEO, recently visited the Efor team at its headquarters in Lyon. “It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with a partner who shares our vision for the future of CQV. Thank you to the Efor team — Morgan O’Brien, Maxence Jeunesse, Olivier Gillot, Mathieu Roger, Philip Jarvis, and Arnaud Meunier — for such a warm welcome and a great discussion,” he said.

Mathieu Roger, CEO of Efor, shared his own reflections on the visit: “As global leaders in our respective fields of CQV services and digital validation, we had a valuable opportunity to discuss our shared vision and how we are advancing the future of CQV. Together, we bring complementary capabilities to help Life Sciences organisations address the growing challenges of quality, compliance, and validation.”

Efor Valimate and Kneat Gx: two platforms, one shared vision

Efor brings deep CQV expertise to the partnership, embodied by Efor Valimate, its AI-powered copilot designed to empower CQV experts while keeping human expertise at the heart of every critical decision. This approach complements Kneat’s industry-leading digital validation platform, Kneat Gx™. “Combined with Kneat’s industry-leading digital validation platform, we are building a comprehensive digital ecosystem that enables CQV teams to work more efficiently, more consistently, and right first time, every time,” Mathieu Roger added.
