Aujourd’hui, je serai à STATION F pour le Business Day du Sommet pour l’action sur l’IA, organisé par le ministère de l’Économie, des Finances et de la Souveraineté industrielle et numérique. Un rendez-vous stratégique alors que l’Europe joue son avenir technologique et industriel. D’ici 2030, la demande mondiale en capacité des data centers pourrait tripler, atteignant 298 GW, contre seulement 60 GW aujourd’hui. En Europe ? Nous ne disposons que de 4 % de la puissance de calcul mondiale, contre 70 % pour les États-Unis. Une dépendance critique : 60 à 65 % des workloads IA seront hébergés par les hyperscalers américains d’ici 2030, verrouillant le marché et laissant l’Europe dépendante de technologies étrangères. Sans investissements massifs dans des infrastructures souveraines, l’innovation en IA ne sera pas européenne. Nos entreprises, nos startups et nos chercheurs risquent d’être dépendants de technologies et de fournisseurs étrangers, avec toutes les conséquences que cela implique sur notre indépendance et notre compétitivité. Chez Qarnot nous avons fait un choix clair : proposer un cloud HPC souverain, compétitif et durable, opéré en Europe. Pour garantir aux acteurs stratégiques – aéronautique, défense, énergie, spatial – une puissance de calcul indépendante et sécurisée, tout en réduisant leur empreinte environnementale. L’Europe a une carte à jouer. Il est temps d’investir massivement dans nos propres infrastructures pour garantir un accès au HPC et à l’IA souverains, performants et durables. #AIactionsummit #SommetIA Bpifrance France Digitale numeum et STATION F -avec le soutien de la Direction Générale des Entreprises (DGE), en particulier de la Mission La French Tech.

Sommet de l'IA : l’explosion des besoins en calcul met nos infrastructures énergétiques sous pression Ce matin, Paul Benoit, président et cofondateur de Qarnot était l'invité de la matinale de BFMTV pour évoquer les enjeux critiques autour de l’IA : une révolution technologique qui soulève de vastes défis en matière d’infrastructures, d’énergie et de souveraineté européenne. Plus d’investissements, plus de capacité de calcul, plus d’énergie : voilà ce qu’il faudra pour rester dans la course. Des chiffres vertigineux : 📌Le projet Stargate aux États-Unis prévoit de construire jusqu'à 5 data centers de 5GW chacun, soit l'équivalent de 25 réacteurs nucléaires. 📌 D’ici quelques années, les data centers pourraient consommer jusqu'à six fois la consommation électrique totale de la France. Mais ce que l’on oublie trop souvent dans le débat sur l’IA, c’est que son développement repose sur une infrastructure lourde, qui consomme de l’énergie et stocke des données sensibles. Qui détient ces infrastructures ? Qui contrôle les données ? Qui décide des normes ? Aujourd’hui, plus de 80 % des produits, services, infrastructures et droits de propriété intellectuelle numériques utilisés en Europe proviennent de l’étranger.  Quelle réponse face à ces défis ? ✔️Investir massivement dans une infrastructure de calcul européenne et compétitive pour soutenir l’IA. ✔️ Optimiser la consommation énergétique en développant des infrastructures plus efficaces et moins énergivores. ✔️ Rompre la dépendance aux hyperscalers étrangers en soutenant des acteurs européens capables de proposer une alternative performante et souveraine. Chez Qarnot, nous avons fait ce choix : 🔹 Un cloud HPC souverain : une infrastructure opérée en Europe, garantissant l’indépendance des données stratégiques. 🔹 Une infrastructure à faible impact environnemental, qui valorise jusqu’à 95% de la chaleur dégagée par les serveurs. 🔹Une alternative compétitive aux géants du cloud, pour offrir aux entreprises européennes une puissance de calcul à la hauteur des ambitions de l’IA 📺 🔗 Découvrez le replay de l’interview de Paul Benoit sur BFM TV : https://lnkd.in/g4H-WBFi

I just read Hamza M.’s article , "Dreams and Wishes for HPC in 2025," and let me tell you, I couldn’t agree more. HPC has been stuck in its niche for too long. For years, high-performance computing felt exclusive—reserved for those with massive budgets, PhDs in cluster management, and the patience to navigate complex interfaces. But look around. The demand for massive compute power is everywhere. AI startups. Aerospace. Automotive. Energy. Finance. Half the world now needs what HPC engineers have been doing for decades: ▪️ Running simulations that no longer fit on a single machine. ▪️ Spreading workloads efficiently across thousands of nodes. ▪️ Optimizing performance to do more with less compute. HPC shouldn’t be reserved for the Happy Few. It shouldn’t cost a fortune to access. And it shouldn’t come at the expense of sustainability. Hamza is right. HPC needs its “Apple moment”. It’s not just about democratizing HPC—it’s about making it truly accessible. At Qarnot, we’re not just talking about this shift—we’re building it: ▪️ HPC that just works:  No IT headaches, no hidden costs— on-demand compute power accessible via web, API, SDK, or CLI. ▪️ 50% lower cost than traditional cloud HPC: Because pricing shouldn’t be a barrier to innovation. ▪️ 100% European infrastructure → No lock-ins, no sovereignty risks—just independent, secure, high-performance computing. And let’s talk architecture. The future of HPC is not just CPU vs GPU. If you want cost-effective, large-scale compute, you need a heterogeneous compute environment.  Engineers shouldn’t have to think about this complexity—the infrastructure should handle it for them. If AI engineers, climate scientists, and aerospace innovators are solving the world’s biggest challenges, they shouldn’t be slowed down by overpriced, overcomplicated, and unsustainable HPC. If you’re tired of that model, let’s talk. https://lnkd.in/eZr8WV8N Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eMawJxpG
