France's Ecosystem Deploys Agentic Computing With NVIDIA

French companies are putting NVIDIA infrastructure and open models to work across multiple industries, as detailed in an ecosystem update. The deployment spans space exploration, financial services, retail, and public sector operations.

In the aerospace sector, Loft Orbital integrated the first satellite of a 50-satellite constellation into orbit this month. Built in Abu Dhabi by Orbitworks, the satellite carries NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin edge modules running Mistral models for real-time Earth observation. Bull is also extending European AI server production to NVIDIA Vera Rubin Ultra NVL72 systems planned for 2028, with rack integration at its Angers factory inaugurated Friday, Oct. 2.

Public sector adoption includes LINAGORA and Docaposte securing the CANUT framework agreement to make Twake.ai, built on NVIDIA Nemotron, the referenced sovereign digital workplace for more than 2,500 French public organizations. In retail and supply chain applications, L’Oréal is utilizing the NVIDIA ALCHEMI Toolkit on its GPU cluster to move cosmetic formulation discovery to in-silico screening, targeting discovery up to 100x faster. Mirakl has onboarded more than 70 million products using models running on NVIDIA GPUs and inference software, reducing seller catalog onboarding times to under two hours. Omi is combining 3D digital twins with NVIDIA-optimized open models to achieve 3x faster inference for marketing visuals.

In regional infrastructure, ThinkDeep and Akila deployed a digital-twin agent powered by NVIDIA Cosmos open world models, Nemotron, and Omniverse libraries to manage nearly 5,800 kilometers of roads and buildings in Côte-d’Or, cutting total operating costs by 10%. Port Sud de France is running goods processing and port security on the DeepBrain platform powered by Nemotron and Cosmos. Bouygues Telecom and Prisme.ai launched AI Studio V2 on NVIDIA infrastructure to give employees secure agent-building capabilities.

Quantum developments involve Alice & Bob integrating the NVIDIA NVQLink platform for superconducting cat qubits, alongside Quandela utilizing NVQLink to connect a DGX Spark system with photonic qubits.
