OUR STORY:
Join Scaleway and shape the sovereign cloud of tomorrow

Since 1999, we have been designing secure, sustainable infrastructures aimed at supporting the most ambitious companies.

With the rise of artificial intelligence, we have strengthened our commitment, supported by the Iliad Group, which is investing €3 billion to develop a serious, sovereign AI alternative to American and Asian giants.

Every day, thanks to our rich catalog of products and services (bare metal, containerization, serverless, AI, etc.), Scaleway proudly serves 38,000 private and public sector clients, from Photoroom to Mistral AI, Hachette, France TV, Veepee, Copenhagen Municipality, European Central Bank and many more.

Our offices are located in
