NVIDIA has announced investments in several French startups, including Doctolib, Entalpic, Genesis AI, and Pigment, which are innovating in areas such as healthcare, materials discovery, and business planning. France-based companies are expanding agentic infrastructure on NVIDIA technology, with examples including Bull and Altair-1. NVIDIA's open models, such as Nemotron, are being adopted by French organizations, including LINAGORA and Docaposte, for sovereign and trustworthy data. The company's infrastructure is being used across various industries, including retail, public services, telecommunications, and science, to drive results in France. Examples of success stories include L'Oréal, Mirakl, Photoroom, and Vestiaire Collective, which are using NVIDIA's technology to improve efficiency and performance.
NVIDIA’s latest investments in France’s startup ecosystem are set to revolutionize the way companies approach agentic computing, a technology that enables machines to make decisions autonomously. With a commitment of nearly $10 billion across Europe, NVIDIA is firmly establishing itself as a leader in the field of AI-driven innovation. The company’s latest investments in France are a significant milestone in its efforts to support the growth of the country’s tech industry.
The French ecosystem has been a key focus for NVIDIA, with the company announcing new planned investments in leading startups such as Doctolib, Entalpic, Genesis AI, and Pigment. These startups are innovating to solve challenges across healthcare, materials discovery, physical AI, and business planning. Doctolib, for example, is developing agents that can free up healthcare professionals to deliver better care, while providing patients with a digital health companion that improves access to care and supports more preventive, continuous medicine.
Entalpic, on the other hand, is accelerating the engineering of advanced materials at the atomic scale, with particular expertise in surfaces and interfaces for semiconductor manufacturing and next-generation electronics. Genesis AI is a global robotics company developing general-purpose robots with frontier intelligence and capabilities through its foundation models, data collection systems, simulation infrastructure, and robot hardware. Pigment, a Paris-based enterprise software company, is building a planning platform that helps businesses forecast performance, model scenarios, and make decisions across finance, sales, workforce, and operations.
France-based companies are also expanding agentic infrastructure on NVIDIA technology. Bull is extending its European AI server production to NVIDIA Vera Rubin Ultra NVL72 systems, planned for 2028, with trays produced in Europe and rack integration at its Angers factory. Altair-1, the first satellite in a $1 billion, 50-satellite constellation with on-board autonomous capabilities, launched this month and has successfully reached orbit. Integrated by Loft Orbital and built in Abu Dhabi by Orbitworks, the satellite is flying NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin edge modules, running Mistral’s models, for real-time Earth observation and autonomous operations in orbit.
Open Models
NVIDIA Nemotron open models are in production across French organizations that require sovereign, trustworthy data. LINAGORA and Docaposte have secured the CANUT framework agreement, making Twake.ai, built on NVIDIA Nemotron, the sole referenced sovereign digital workplace for more than 2,500 French public organizations.
In financial services, SBS is launching a sovereign platform enabling banks to deploy governed generative and agentic services within their own environments, in collaboration with NVIDIA. Mistral introduced under private preview Mistral Large 4 open model, with state-of-the-art, open weight performance in cyber defense, manufacturing, finance, and multimodal tasks, and a solid foundation for customizing models across key industries.
Fondation Inria, with NVIDIA’s support, is launching a working group on open source advanced modeling and tool adoption, with findings to come in the spring of next year.
Agents at Work Across Industries
Across retail, public services, telecommunications, and science, the pattern is consistent: open models and NVIDIA infrastructure are driving results in France. L’Oréal is integrating NVIDIA ALCHEMI into its research workflows so scientists can explore formulation possibilities in silico and better help guide laboratory research. Combining computational predictions with hands-on experimentation can make the discovery process up to 100x faster than traditional methods and maximize the potential of the group’s proprietary active ingredients.
Mirakl has onboarded more than 70 million products with fine-tuned and open models running on NVIDIA GPUs and inference software, cutting seller catalog onboarding to under two hours. Photoroom and Vestiaire Collective are demonstrating the measurable business impact of advanced visual modeling on marketplace performance.
Omi helps brands bring accurate products into AI-generated marketing visuals at scale, combining its approved 3D digital twins with open models optimized on NVIDIA for 4x faster inference.
In Côte-d’Or, ThinkDeep and Akila built a digital-twin agent — powered by NVIDIA Cosmos open world models, Nematron and Omniverse libraries — managing nearly 5,800 kilometers of roads and buildings, cutting total operating costs by 10% and targeting 30% as deployment progresses.
Port Sud de France runs goods processing and port security on ThinkDeep’s DeepBrain platform powered by Nematron and Cosmos.
Enchanted Tools, a robotics company headquartered in Paris, is deploying social robots to support patients in healthcare settings including pediatric cancer care.
In telecom, Bouygues Telecom and Prisme.ai have launched AI Studio V2, powered by NVIDIA full-stack infrastructure, to offer all of its employees the ability to build their own agents, securely and in a controlled environment.
In quantum, Alice & Bob has integrated the NVIDIA NVQLink platform for its superconducting cat qubits, showing how GPUs can make quantum error correction more efficient, including for faster qubit modalities. Quandela has also been using NVQLink to build an integration between a DGX Spark system and its photonic qubits — advancing QPU-GPU supercomputing and exploring hybrid quantum-classical applications.
