100 Companies. Two Countries. One Vision: Building Europe's Trusted AI from the Ground

What does it take to build trustworthy industrial AI in Europe on European terms? Over the past year, more than 100 French and German companies across seven strategic sectors joined forces with Inria, Fraunhofer and Institut Mines-Télécom in an unprecedented bilateral dialogue: not top-down, not policy-driven, but built from real industrial needs. The result is a shared blueprint spanning manufacturing, healthcare, energy, agri-food, media and digital infrastructure that places data sovereignty, AI and cross-border trust at the heart of Europe's industrial future.
