Skyld Recognized at the 18th Assises de l’Embarqué

29 Jan 2026 By Skyld

Last week, Skyld participated in the Assises de l’Embarqué, held in the heart of the French Ministry of Economic and Financial Affairs. This is a flagship industry event bringing together leading experts shaping the future of embedded systems and AI.

A Key Industry Gathering for Embedded AI

The program featured high-level contributions from key stakeholders, including a series of roundtables addressing:

The impact of AI on embedded professions (Viveris, Universcience, CATIE, ESIEA)

Deployment challenges including data, models, open source, sovereignty, and the AI Act (Thales, CNRS, DGE, Eclipse and Numeum)

Product development acceleration (Vector, Asygn, Safran, Schneider Electric, SystemX)

European responses to innovation challenges, including funding and research–industry convergence (CEA, Soverency, AENEAS, Systematic)

The event also featured a keynote from Patrick Aufort, Director of the Agence de l’innovation de défense, and a special session on nuclear fusion and embedded systems by Alain Bécoulet of ITER.

These are some impactful quotes of the day: “AI may take decisions, but the engineer remains responsible for design, development, and testing.”

“Let’s anticipate the AI Act.”

“Data is the pillar of AI models, and it takes years to acquire and process.”
