The Teratec Forum returns in 2026 with its 21st edition, reaffirming its role as the annual gathering for France's high-performance computing community. For two days, the Palais des Congrès de Paris Porte Maillot brings together industry players, researchers, startups and technology leaders around HPC, numerical simulation, artificial intelligence and quantum computing. The programme mixes keynotes, round tables, technical workshops and applied sessions delivered by roughly 90 speakers. On the show floor, around 70 exhibitors showcase hardware, software and services applied to sectors such as manufacturing, defence, aerospace, energy, finance, healthcare and logistics. Roughly 2,000 attendees are expected, including CIOs, CTOs, R&D and innovation leads, data and AI managers and scientific profiles.

The Forum is co-organised by INFORA Events and the TERATEC association, a European reference in simulation and high-performance computing.
