To power the coming era of agentic AI and reasoning for enterprises, NVIDIA and HPE are delivering AI factories to help organizations accelerate their AI journeys with enterprise-grade infrastructure and tools. HPE and NVIDIA have joined forces to develop NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio that deliver AI factories integrating NVIDIA's accelerated computingwith HPE’s portfolio of secure, scalable servers, storage, and private cloud offerings. By combining NVIDIA's leading technology for AI workload performance with HPE's decades of HPE’s experience in enterprise infrastructure, this partnership enables businesses to manufacture intelligence at scale. The AI factories co-developed by the NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE portfolio and offer a range of solutions. First, a turnkey offering for traditional enterprises (Private Cloud AI) to get started fast with AI to enable AI teams to build AI use cases. Second, an AI Factory designed to scale that is built with validated and composable solutions for model builders and service providers. Third, a sovereign AI factory to add additional protection for public sector deployments and customers with specialized data protection needs. And the HPE AI Factories provide fully integrated infrastructure, software, control plane, networking and services, so organizations can free up IT talent to focus on developing AI use cases, rather than managing complex infrastructure. These joint solutions are designed to offer reliability, performance, and data sovereignty—allowing enterprises, service providers, model builders, and sovereign entities to deploy AI systems with confidence. Key features include fully validated technology stacks, multi-tenant support, air-gapped and federated architectures, predictable pricing, and rapid deployment to reduce time-to-value. By combining decades of HPE’s experience in enterprise infrastructure with NVIDIA’s leadership in accelerated computing, this partnership's portfolio enables customers to move beyond AI experiments and build robust, production-ready systems that manufacture intelligence at scale for businesses.

AI-powered autonomy for Defence and Security TEKEVER is a leading European technology company driving innovation in Defence and Security through AI-centric autonomous systems. With a fully integrated model spanning aerospace engineering, propulsion, optical and RF payloads, communications, avionics, software, and data science, TEKEVER delivers complete, end-to-end systems and services tailored to the complex demands of modern security operations. Building on more than a decade of operational experience, TEKEVER’s AR3 EVO and AR5 platforms represent the cutting edge of European autonomy. The AR3 EVO, unveiled in September 2025, is a tactical UAS designed for multi-domain ISR missions. Developed from battlefield experience in Ukraine, it combines modular design, low-signature propulsion, resilient communications, and advanced navigation autonomy. Capable of launch and recovery from spaces as small as five metres, it delivers wide-area maritime and land surveillance, even in GNSS- or comms-denied environments. The AR5 is a twin-engine, medium-altitude, long-endurance system designed for extended maritime patrol, border control, and environmental monitoring. Supporting multiple sensors including EO/IR, radar, AIS, SIGINT, and synthetic-aperture radar, it delivers real-time situational awareness for multiple end-users, including coastguard, defence, and civil-protection agencies. In France, TEKEVER is rapidly expanding its industrial footprint. Following the opening of its Toulouse engineering centre in 2024, the company has announced plans for a new Centre of Excellence in Cahors, part of a €100 million investment programme. The 4,500 m² facility will focus on production, integration, and testing of TEKEVER’s UAS for defence and dual-use applications, while also developing TEKVER’s space activities. At ADOPT AI, TEKEVER showcases how its AI-powered autonomy, modular architecture, and European industrial base are transforming operational intelligence, making missions faster, smarter, and safer.
