Le rapport Broadcom 2025 confirme la tendance, que nous avons identifiée à l'EBG, d'une sortie du Cloud public au profit d'un mix Open Source + On Premise + quelques Machines virtuelles en complément. Ce sera un des grands sujets du Digital Benchmark. "the report highlights growing trends in workload repatriation, security concerns, and the rise of private cloud as a cornerstone for IT modernization. With a focus on balancing performance, control, and cost efficiency".

Few things are as inspiring to me as meeting entrepreneurs who are quietly shaping the next generation of cybersecurity technology. Last week I met Bruno Couillard, CEO of Crypto4A Technologies. Bruno isn’t new to this space—he was a member of Quantum Industry Canada • Industrie Quantique Canada, worked as a cryptographic evaluation engineer at Communications Security Establishment Canada | Centre de la sécurité des télécommunications Canada, and contributed to the cryptographic modernization program there. This also isn’t his first entrepreneurial journey in deep cybersecurity technology, and what he’s building now is impressive. Crypto4A Technologies, based in Ottawa, designs and manufactures quantum-safe, crypto-agile Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). To put it simply: encryption as we know it (RSA, ECC) won’t withstand the arrival of quantum computing. Their hardware is built to resist those future threats while giving organizations the flexibility to adapt as cryptographic standards evolve. That combination of expertise, entrepreneurship, and building advanced security infrastructure locally shows that Canada can do more than export IP—we can create and scale our own technologies, even tangible hardware, with global impact. So, if you're thinking about your post-quantum encryption strategy, you want to know what's on the market to help your clients, or you want to contribute to develop Canadian critical infrastructure for the information age, you might want to contact Bruno Couillard. #postquantumencryption #cryptography #quantumcomputing #deepcybersecurity #deeptech #hardwaretech #entrepreneurs #entrepreneurshipstory

We have completed the privatization of Innergex and are announcing the mobilization of a syndicate of Québec and international investors—including Investissement Québec, Desjardins Gestion internationale d’actifs, Fondaction, and 14 Swiss institutional investors —who share our vision. “Innergex is a Canadian renewable energy leader and plays a key role in the energy transition. To shift into a higher gear, the company needed shareholders aligned with its long-term potential, protected from stock market cycles. That’s why we brought together a syndicate of Québec and international investors who share this vision,” said Emmanuel Jaclot, our Executive Vice-President and Head of Infrastructure. “This privatization immediately provides Innergex with increased financial agility to accelerate the development of large-scale projects. It is a reflection of Innergex’s potential and Québec’s leadership in the energy transition.”     Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ekBBWGYR

Today, we announced the closing of a bespoke credit facility for Deep Sky Alpha with Montreal-based Finalta Capital, Canada’s largest private lender specializing in the financing of refundable tax credits. This deal demonstrates that carbon removal projects are bankable. “This landmark deal sends a clear signal: carbon removal is no longer a moonshot in Canada, it’s a bankable industry,” said Alex Petre, Deep Sky CEO. “By pioneering innovative debt financing, we’re unlocking the capital needed to scale carbon removal and cement Canada’s leadership in the global climate economy.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/en4EPMmb

✨ Happy to be featured in Les Echos this week with an opinion piece by our CEO & co-founder, Pierre Desjardins, on the challenge of long-distance qubit #connectivity. It’s a topic close to us at C12 - why scaling quantum isn’t just about more qubits, but about building the right qubits and connecting them in smarter ways. In the article, Pierre shares why long-distance connectivity is a turning point for the field: ▪️Without it, quantum algorithms are slowed down by complex workarounds, such as repeated SWAP operations. ▪️With it, modular and extensible processors become possible, unlocking new industrial applications, from simulating molecules for energy-efficient catalysts to enhancing radar reliability and facilitating real-time optimization in finance and logistics. At C12, this is precisely why we’ve built our architecture around carbon nanotube spin qubits and a quantum bus to entangle them without movement. It’s a vision for scalable, modular processors designed from the ground up. 📰 More info in the full article [in French] is in the comments below. #quantumcomputer
