OVHcloud has introduced a series of new technologies and programmes designed to support the growing adoption of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. The announcements were made at the OVHcloud Summit 2025, which gathered more than 2,000 participants to discuss the direction of cloud innovation.
Octave Klaba, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, said recent developments have reshaped long-standing assumptions in Europe’s digital landscape. He referenced shifts in political awareness, a renewed push for technological autonomy, and the rapid acceleration of AI adoption. Klaba said these changes underline the importance of building demand for home-grown technology providers. He added that OVHcloud aims to evolve into a global cloud and AI provider with a role that supports the wider economy.
One of the company’s major updates is the enhancement of OmisimO, its AI chat tool, which now integrates the SHAI coding agent. Developers can use this environment to build and orchestrate AI agents capable of carrying out routine tasks, allowing them to create what OVHcloud describes as professional digital twins. The company said this provides a trusted framework for organisations aiming to scale operational automation across teams.
The company is also expanding its AI infrastructure through a partnership with SambaNova. The collaboration enables OVHcloud to deploy new accelerators designed for large-scale inference workloads. These RDUs offer high compute capacity for both low-latency and batch use cases, supporting scenarios that rely on strong thread parallelisation. OVHcloud said this will give businesses the performance needed to run advanced AI agents at scale.
Supporting software vendors and expanding ecosystem programmes
OVHcloud is launching a new initiative aimed at software vendors looking to integrate agentic AI into their products. The programme, called “Get your SaaS ready for AI”, includes training, code-sharing sessions, hackathons, and integration pathways through the OmisimO marketplace. The company said the goal is to help vendors adapt quickly to the shift towards AI-driven software models.
The summit also highlighted the company’s focus on ecosystem development. AI, cloud security, digital sovereignty, and international expansion were among the main themes discussed during the event. Speakers from Bouygues Group, LCH SA, Bitdefender, and CommerzReal shared insights on cloud resilience, regulatory considerations, and emerging innovation trends.
OVHcloud noted that collaboration remains central to its strategy. Klaba said the ecosystem now includes digital startups, established enterprises, public institutions, and multinational organisations. He emphasised that shared efforts are critical to driving large-scale digital transformation.
Expanding into quantum technologies
The company also introduced its Quantum Platform, which it describes as the first European Quantum-as-a-Service offering. OVHcloud already provides quantum emulators that are used by more than 1,000 users, and the new platform expands access to physical quantum systems.
The platform is launching with access to Pasqal’s 100-qubit Orion Beta QPU, with plans to onboard eight more systems—seven of them European—by the end of 2027. The company said this will give businesses a simplified way to work with quantum computers, allowing them to explore optimisation, simulation, and emerging quantum research without the need for specialised infrastructure.
Klaba said quantum computing will reshape economic boundaries due to its potential for high-performance simulation and computation. He added that OVHcloud intends to stay at the forefront of these developments while supporting wider ecosystem adoption.
Alongside its technology announcements, the company also reaffirmed plans to accelerate international growth. Following the launch of new three-availability-zone regions in Paris and Milan, OVHcloud will open a similar zone in Berlin. The company said this expansion is aimed at meeting the resilience and sovereignty needs of its German customers.
The updates presented at the summit strengthen OVHcloud’s position across AI, quantum, and cloud infrastructure, aligning the group’s ongoing international expansion with the strategic priorities of its customers.
