Aleria had the pleasure of welcoming senior leaders from NVIDIA and DDN (DataDirect Networks), alongside distinguished guests and partners, for a strategic exchange on the future of sovereign AI and large-scale data infrastructure.

The discussions centred on the development of AI and big data factories, long-term infrastructure requirements, and the governance frameworks needed to deploy AI responsibly at scale.

The session was led by Eric Leandri, CEO of Aleria, with contributions from Aleria’s leadership team, including Jérôme Freani, CPO, and Dr. Mohammad Khaled.

Joining the discussion were senior leaders from NVIDIA and DDN, including Marc Hamilton, Global Head of Solutions Architecture & Engineering (Nvidia), Maximilian Baust, Director of Solutions Architecture for Industries, EMEA (Nvidia), Marc Domenech, Senior Regional Director, Enterprise (Nvidia), and Yasmeen Al Ghussain, Regional Business Lead (Nvidia).
