An unprecedented initiative led by Gigalis

Created in 2000 by the Pays de la Loire Regional Council, Gigalis has established itself as a key player in public digital services. Transformed into a Public Interest Group (GIP) in January 2025, it now supports regional authorities and institutions with sovereign services in connectivity, cybersecurity, cloud, and the pooling of digital procurement. It is within this dynamic that, on September 1st, the Fabrique IA Territoriale was officially launched — a unique initiative in France bringing together public actors and private companies to address the challenges of artificial intelligence and open source.

Three complementary lots to structure the AI ecosystem

The framework agreement designed by Gigalis has been divided into three lots, covering the entire lifecycle of AI projects.

1. The first focuses on consulting and raising awareness around artificial intelligence, and was awarded to a group of national and regional players including Linagora, Onepoint, Pyxis support, Synchrone et Wavestone.
2. The second, dedicated to community integration, brings together Atos, DRI, Metapolis, Beewant, Reel IT, Cross Data, PARTHEMA, DATA INCEPTIO.AI et Valeuriad.
3. Finally, the third lot, centered on infrastructure, hosting, deployment, and operations using open source technologies, was awarded to Clever Cloud, Linagora, DRI, Siium et Reel IT.

This organization ensures strong complementarity and makes it possible to provide public sector actors with a coherent, sovereign, and tailored offering that fully meets their needs.

Clever Cloud’s expertise for Lot 3

Clever Cloud’s participation in the Fabrique IA Territoriale is fully aligned with our mission: providing a European, secure cloud that frees public organizations from technical constraints. In practice, our approach relies on proven open source technologies, integrated into an automated infrastructure to ensure interoperability, performance, and security. At the same time, we guarantee high availability, continuous monitoring, and measurable commitments through transparent quality indicators.

Beyond the technical aspects, our contribution also consists in transferring knowledge to gradually make beneficiaries autonomous. This transfer of expertise lies at the heart of our approach: supporting, securing, and sustaining digital projects without creating dependency on external providers.

A commitment to digital sovereignty in the region

The Fabrique IA Territoriale is more than just a framework agreement: it embodies a collective vision of trusted digital services, designed for local territories. By joining this initiative, Clever Cloud strengthens its commitment to offering a credible European alternative to major international providers. This approach enables local authorities to benefit from modern, resilient infrastructures while supporting the regional digital ecosystem.

For Clever Cloud, this participation illustrates the convergence between our values and those promoted by Gigalis: sovereignty, cooperation, and sustainability. We believe that an ethical and responsible digital environment must be built on open, secure, and accessible solutions for all public sector actors.

Conclusion and outlook

Our role within the Fabrique IA Territoriale reaffirms our determination to support the digital transformation of public services, giving them the means to manage their projects with efficiency and transparency. Alongside committed partners, we put automation, security, and sovereignty at the service of collective intelligence and local innovation.
