Paris, France—The Internet Computer (ICP) is setting up its footprint in France with a highly anticipated launch event designed to spotlight the fusion of AI and blockchain. On September 9th, ICP Hub France will officially debut in Paris, drawing together developers, entrepreneurs, investors, and enthusiasts alike to witness the next big leap in Web3 technology.
If you’re wondering what this event is about, consider it more than just another networking session. The ICP Hub France is here to push forward real-world innovation, empowering decentralisation and web3 in France. This new hub aims to nurture a community of thinkers and builders who are eager to develop decentralised applications using ICP’s platform.
The end goal? To create tools and systems that help us imagine what the internet could be – faster, smarter, and untangled from centralised control.
A Place for Real Conversations
This Paris launch isn’t some run-of-the-mill corporate gig. Instead, it’s designed as a space where real conversations happen – a place where founders, developers, and investors can get honest about the future of tech. The lineup features thought leaders from both the AI and Web3 sectors, ready to share their experiences and insights on how these two worlds are colliding to create something entirely new.

Starting with a welcoming note, the event sets the tone for what ICP France is aiming for: a future where AI-driven blockchain applications become the norm. But this isn’t about vague futurism. The discussion panel, scheduled for 7:15 PM, will dig into concrete examples of how AI can enhance decentralised networks, making them faster, smarter, and more efficient. Attendees can expect deep dives into real-world use cases, where blockchain meets AI to solve issues ranging from data privacy to cloud computing.

The ICP Hub: Why France?
France is a natural fit for ICP’s next hub. Paris is quickly becoming a go-to city for tech innovation, with a growing ecosystem of startups, research centers, and venture capital firms. The decision to place this strategic hub here is a nod to the city’s importance in the global tech landscape. It’s also a recognition that France is home to a thriving developer community eager to dive into new technologies like decentralised cloud computing.
What makes the Internet Computer unique in this crowded blockchain space is that it’s built not just to handle decentralised applications (dApps) but to scale them effectively. That means the kinds of apps being developed here could, one day, compete with the centralised services we use every day – from cloud storage to social networks – without the usual drawbacks like slow transaction times or huge energy consumption.
ICP’s platform is also highly energy-efficient, operating on a new consensus mechanism called Proof-of-Useful-Work, which is far less resource-hungry than older blockchain models. That’s a key point, especially in France, where green tech is a growing priority.
What’s Next for ICP France?
After this event, the ICP Hub in France has big plans. They’re gearing up for a series of workshops, boot camps, and events aimed at supporting developers who want to build on the ICP platform.
The event starts at 6:30 PM on September 9th at Digital Village Paris. Registration is open, though space is limited.
Come prepared to participate in the conversation and see firsthand how ICP is working to merge AI with blockchain in ways that could reshape the web as we know it.
Location: Digital Village Paris, 21 Rue Albert Bayet, 75013 Paris, France
Time: 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM GMT+2
Date: Monday, September 9, 2024
Admission: Free (registration subject to approval)
