Hi! PARIS is the Center on Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence for Science, Business and Society created by Institut Polytechnique de Paris (IP Paris) and HEC Paris and joined by Inria ( Centre Inria de Saclay) . Nested in the heart of the Palaiseau campus, France’s largest scientific research hub, Hi! PARIS combines the expertise of IP Paris’ schools, HEC Paris’ Business School and Inria to create a new international AI champion in science, technology and business. It has been backed by strong funding and support from major multinational companies - L'Oréal, Capgemini, TotalEnergies, KERING, Rexel, VINCI and Schneider Electric.

On a larger scale than ever before, Hi! PARIS is conducting groundbreaking and interdisciplinary research in AI and Data Science , shaping strategic insights for economic and public decision-makers in France and Europe as its mission is to be at the service of Science, Business and Society.

End of May 2024, the consortium led by HEC Paris and the Institut Polytechnique de Paris (École polytechnique, ENSTA Paris, ENSAE Paris, Telecom Paris, Telecom SudParis), and including Inria, CNRS, Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées and Université de Technologie de Troyes, has won " the IA Cluster" call for projects, based on its excellence in teaching, research, innovation and technology transfer, as well as the diversity of its training. Building on the Hi! PARIS interdisciplinary center for artificial intelligence and data analysis, the project has been awarded 70 million euros over five years to create one of the world's leading AI research, training and innovation clusters serving society in France.

With its project entitled "Hi! PARIS Cluster 2030", the Hi! PARIS Center brings together over 250 professors and researchers. Supported by, its ambition is to become a world leader, a destination of choice for the world's most talented students and professors, and an active member of other clusters.

The Center relies on the infrastructures of IP Paris and HEC Paris in these areas. It is a unique space for disruption, education and innovation.

As part of its development, the Hi! PARIS has made the strategic choice to set up an engineering unit (Hi! PARIS Engineering Team) whose mission is to support its professors and researchers in order to promote their work. By joining this emerging structure today, you will have the opportunity to get as close as possible to the most cutting-edge developments in AI and to contribute to the influence of French teaching and research in the field.
