AI & dual use: a round table with the Cnam chair
EuraTechnologies joins the Cnam chair on dual use
On Tuesday, November 17, 2026, join the round table “AI & dual use: civilian technologies, strategic uses”
From 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., EuraTechnologies hosts its first event with the chair, dedicated to artificial intelligence and dual-use technologies.
A morning to help business leaders build sovereignty into their strategy.
Created in 2026 at the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (Cnam), the partnership chair “Géopolitique, souveraineté technologique & biens à double usage” (geopolitics, technological sovereignty and dual-use goods) starts from one observation: civilian technologies can be diverted to tactical uses. The Cnam gives the example of a washing machine or game console chip built into a missile guidance system. The chair aims to support French and European strategic technologies from their emergence to scale-up, through to their security and protection.
EuraTechnologies is part of the chair's first group of partners, alongside Groupe ADIT, a strategic intelligence firm, and ISALT, an asset management company that invests long term in the capital of strategic French companies. It brings its knowledge of startups and innovation ecosystems, where tomorrow's technologies and uses emerge.
Program
The round table covers two themes:
- Law and economics: export controls, cost of compliance, US extraterritorial rules and the NIS 2 directive;
- New forms of conflict: cyberattacks, espionage, information manipulation, and what AI changes for defense.
