CEA DAM Île-de-France participated in the inaugural Digital Sovereignty Expo. Held under the patronage of Ms. Anne Le Hénanff, Minister Delegate for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technology, the event drew over 2,000 participants, including government representatives, industry leaders, and start-ups. Through the CEA booth and various round-table discussions, research engineers from CEA DAM Île-de-France presented DAM’s digital sovereignty strategy. The agenda covered digital infrastructure, supercomputer co-design, system administration, secure software, scientific applications, HPC, AI, quantum computing, and training.

Our partners—Bull (Bruno Lecointe, Group SVP HPC AI & Quantum Computing), SAFRAN (Nicolas Belanger, Head of Center of Excellence HPC), and THALES DMS (Gilles Salin, Engineer)—attended to attest to the strategy's success; the latter two highlighted the performance of the CCRT and CCMD facilities for their respective applications. Indeed, the CEA’s computing complexes at the Bruyères-le-Châtel center house world-class supercomputers operated by DAM teams.

CEA/DAM teams took part in the ISC 2026 – International Supercomputing Conference in Hamburg, Germany, where they showcased DAM’s expertise and activities in the fields of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Quantum Computing. The event provided an opportunity to engage with the entire scientific and industrial community in the sector and to present upcoming projects, including the deployment of the Alice Recoque exascale system at the TGCC and the Kity quantum computer developed by Alice & Bob.
