Forum TERATEC 2026

The annual Forum TERATEC — two days of conference sessions and an exhibition at the Palais des Congrès covering high-performance computing, numerical simulation, AI and quantum. It has run for more than twenty years and pulls roughly 2,000 decision-makers from aeronautics, defence, energy, logistics, health and finance, alongside the HPC and simulation community that serves them. Registration and entry are free for both days, from 09:00. Why go: one of the few French rooms where the industrial users of large-scale compute and the people who build the machines are in the same building, talking about the same workloads. If you are sizing simulation or AI infrastructure for a serious industrial problem, the conversations here are far more concrete than anything at a general AI conference. Best for CTOs, research-computing leads and infrastructure architects.
