Viridien announces HPC, AI and Cloud services agreement with MS4ALL to support molecular simulation

Paris, France | Nov 14, 2024

Viridien, an advanced technology and digital company, is pleased to announce a new agreement with MS4ALL, a French start-up focused on molecular simulation. This collaboration further expands Viridien’s HPC & Cloud Solutions business by combining its expertise in sustainable HPC, artificial intelligence (AI) and Cloud technologies with MS4ALL’s cutting-edge molecular simulation capabilities.

The agreement will accelerate the development of the new and innovative materials needed for many industrial sectors and evaluate more effective ways to reduce the environmental impact of micropollutants, both of which require computational-intensive simulation. MS4ALL will leverage Viridien's fully managed HPC, AI and Cloud services to screen and identify the right elementary constituents of new target materials and simulate the degradation of micropollutants in their environment.

Through this agreement, MS4ALL will benefit from the support of Viridien's dedicated technical teams and customized, optimized solutions, resulting in accelerated simulations, productivity-driven operations, and lower costs. Additionally, Viridien's Outcome-as-a-Service model, which delivers AI and HPC Cloud with pricing based on results rather than consumption, aligns with MS4ALL's own customer billing model, ensuring a seamless and efficient collaboration.

Agnes Boudot, EVP, HPC & Cloud Solutions, Viridien, said: “We are delighted to support MS4ALL’s mission to develop new materials and address the environmental challenge of micropollutants, accelerating the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable future. Our expertise in HPC, AI & Cloud will enable MS4ALL to focus on their core business, driving innovation and progress in the materials science industry and environmental field. This agreement is a testament to Viridien's commitment to delivering advanced and powerful technology solutions that support our clients in achieving their objectives more efficiently, effectively and sustainably."

Edouard Lété, CEO of MS4ALL, said: “This collaboration with Viridien is a significant step forward for MS4ALL. By leveraging Viridien’s advanced HPC, AI, and Cloud services, we can accelerate our research and development processes, ultimately bringing innovative materials to market faster and globally addressing the major issue of micropollutants. We are excited about the opportunities this agreement presents and look forward to a successful collaboration.”
