LightOn Launches Its Sovereign and Secure Generative AI Offering for Higher Education in Partnership with ENS Paris-Saclay
LightOn, a leading European provider of generative AI for enterprises and the public sector, is supporting the École normale supérieure Paris-Saclay (ENS Paris-Saclay) in deploying its Paradigm platform within a sovereign French cloud environment. This collaboration marks the launch of Paradigm Edu, LightOn’s new offering tailored to the needs of higher education and research institutions. With this initiative, ENS Paris-Saclay aims to accelerate the exploration and adoption of concrete generative AI use cases across its administrative functions, while ensuring data security and confidentiality. The project aligns with national regulatory frameworks and meets the strict security requirements of public institutions.
Sodern, a subsidiary of ArianeGroup, Selects LightOn to Industrialize Generative AI Within a Secure Framework
In Paris, on June 19, 2025, Lighton, a leading European provider of enterprise-grade generative AI for the public and private sectors, introduced secure artificial intelligence to the core of Sodern’s operations. In response to burgeoning demands for sovereignty and performance, Sodern has made the shrewd decision to deploy Paradigm, LightOn’s generative AI platform, across its organization. The result: the genesis of a deep transformation of its processes and operations, enhancing productivity while maintaining the highest standards of security.
