OUR STORY:

With the rise of artificial intelligence, we have strengthened our commitment, supported by the Iliad Group, which is investing EUR3 billion to develop a serious, sovereign AI alternative to American and Asian giants.

Every day, thanks to our rich catalog of products and services (bare metal, containerization, serverless, AI, etc.), Scaleway proudly serves 38,000 private and public sector clients, from Photoroom to Mistral AI, Golem AI, and ADEME.

Our offices are located in Paris, Lille, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Rouen, Rennes and Lyon.
