On the occasion of the opening of Big Data & AI Paris 2025, which opens its doors today, we spoke with \u00c9milie Pierre-Desmonde, director of the show and ambassador of the government program \u201cOsez l'AI\u201d. She deciphers for us the strategic challenges of this edition rich in innovations: generative AI, quantum, digital sovereignty\u2026 An overview of an event that has become essential for thinking about the data and artificial intelligence of tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With 17,000 participants expected<\/strong>, more than 220 exhibitors<\/strong>, 300 speakers<\/strong> And 65 conferences and round tables<\/strong>, THE Big Data & AI Paris trade fair<\/strong> asserts itself as the biggest French event<\/strong>, and one of the most influential in Europe, for data and artificial intelligence professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Directed by Emilie Pierre-Desmonde<\/strong>, ambassador of the government program Dare to use AI<\/em> and show director at RX, the event intends to remain the beating heart of the technological ecosystem<\/strong>, bringing together startups, researchers, large groups and public decision-makers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n "The show is a real platform for meetings and debates for the ecosystem. We talk about technologies, of course, but also about digital sovereignty, regulation, economic models, and societal impact,"<\/em> explains \u00c9milie Pierre-Desmonde.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The 2025 program reflects the rapid evolution of AI uses in businesses<\/strong>. Three main themes emerge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Major players such as Danone, Sodexo, BNP Paribas, OVHcloud, Thales<\/strong> or even the Ministerial Agency for Defense AI<\/strong> will intervene to share their feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is one of the big new features of this edition: the Quantum Village<\/strong>, developed in partnership with Systematic Paris-Region<\/strong>, intends to make the link between disruptive technologies<\/strong> And future industrial applications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the actors present, ColibriTD<\/strong> arrives with a size advance<\/strong> : the French startup has just announced that its function QUICK-PDE<\/strong> \u2013 designed to solve complex partial differential equations (PDEs) \u2013 was officially integrated into IBM Qiskit's quantum function catalog<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAfter four years of research on extremely complex multi-domain problems, QUICK-PDE is a world first. It is proof of the relevance of our approach and the power of quantum applied to industrial simulations,\u201d<\/em> says the ColibriTD team.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n This recognition marks a turning point for applied quantum computing<\/strong> to fields such as finance, climate modeling, and precision engineering. The show will be an opportunity for ColibriTD to present this innovation in preview and discuss its concrete implications with the ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to ColibriTD, the Quantum Village will also host:<\/p>\n\n\n\n "Quantum is still exploratory, but its future impact is immense. The show aims to be a place for foresight and structuring of this sector,"<\/em> emphasizes Emilie.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Beyond the keynotes and conferences, the show promises a dense program of technological demonstrations and exclusive announcements<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n And to open, a highly anticipated keynote from mathematician C\u00e9dric Villani<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the key speakers of this 2025 edition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A diversity of profiles that illustrates the richness of the uses of data and AI in all economic sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the entry into force of new European regulations<\/strong>, cybersecurity is becoming a strategic focus for all businesses. The show will offer feedback on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCybersecurity is not a constraint, but a competitive advantage. It must be integrated into innovation strategies,\u201d<\/em> says the director of the salon.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n If the word \u201csovereignty\u201d is on everyone\u2019s lips, It is strategic autonomy that Europe is aiming for<\/strong>, according to Emilie:<\/p>\n\n\n\n "Europe cannot compete in size with American or Chinese giants, but it can win on execution. We must support the local ecosystem, focus on open source, and direct public and private investments towards European solutions."<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Unlike other events, Big Data & AI Paris is not a general public exhibition<\/strong>, but good a strategic business meeting<\/strong>, intended for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s the only place in France where strategic vision, concrete feedback, and business opportunities intersect. A true crossroads of data and AI,\u201d<\/em> concludes Emilie.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On the occasion of the opening of Big Data & AI Paris 2025, which opens its doors today, we spoke with \u00c9milie Pierre-Desmonde, director of the show and ambassador of the government program \u201cOsez l'AI\u201d.
