CEA DAM Île-de-France participated in the inaugural Digital Sovereignty Expo — an event focused on resilience and strategic autonomy in France and Europe — held on June 30 and July 1 at the Porte de Champerret in Paris. 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 startups. Through a dedicated booth, presentations, and a workshop, DAM showcased the success of its digital sovereignty strategy. This strategy has established the company Bull as a leading player in the international supercomputing arena and has driven the world-class performance of the CEA’s computing complex, operated by DAM teams at the Bruyères-le-Châtel center. Partners from Bull (Bruno Lecointe, Group SVP HPC, AI & Quantum Computing), SAFRAN (Nicolas Belanger, Head of HPC Center of Excellence), and THALES DMS (Gilles Salin, Engineer) attended to highlight this success, with the latter two emphasizing the performance of the CCRT and CCMD facilities for their respective applications.

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.
