Kyndryl, a provider of enterprise technology services, has announced plans to invest up to €100 million in France over the next three years to strengthen the country’s data, artificial intelligence (AI), and cyber resilience capabilities. The investment is part of the “Choose France” initiative aimed at attracting global businesses to the region.
The investment plan includes the hiring of up to 300 experts specializing in data, AI, and cybersecurity to support both new and existing customers in France. These new roles are expected to enhance enterprise readiness for emerging business risks and technological opportunities, positioning Kyndryl as a pivotal player in advancing the country’s digital infrastructure.
Additionally, Kyndryl will launch a private AI cloud for French enterprises, providing a secure environment for the rapid development and deployment of enterprise-grade AI solutions. The company is also establishing a new digital hub dedicated to AI and cybersecurity in Sophia-Antipolis. This hub will collaborate with graduate schools and research centers, creating career opportunities for students and developing in-demand skills in the AI and cybersecurity sectors.
Kyndryl France President Jerome Calmelet emphasized the importance of this investment in addressing the existing skills gap in AI and cybersecurity, highlighting that only 28 percent of French business leaders currently feel their workforces are fully prepared to leverage AI technologies effectively.
Kyndryl’s initiative aligns with the broader French ambition to become a leading hub for technology and innovation, fostering economic growth and digital transformation across sectors.
