PARIS, FRANCE (By Viridien, 9.Sep.2026, Words: ) — Viridien joined the Rice AI Venture Accelerator (RAVA) as its scientific compute anchor partner to help the next generation of AI-powered scientific and industrial technology companies accelerate the journey from breakthrough innovation to commercial deployment.
Through this partnership, RAVA early-stage partners will gain access to Viridien’s scientific computing expertise, scaling guidance and enterprise-grade infrastructure, enabling founders to move more efficiently from experimentation to optimized production.
RAVA selected Viridien for its unique combination of scientific computing expertise, operational know-how and experience running highly optimized compute environments for some of the world’s most demanding compute workloads at scale.
With more than 70 years of scientific computing experience, more than one million HPC jobs processed daily across its global computing hubs, and a compute capacity exceeding 700 PFLOPS (ranking Viridien among the top five industrial HPC operators outside the hyperscalers according to Goldman Sachs), Viridien brings capabilities that can help AI innovators build scalable businesses from the outset.
Through RAVA’s connection to Rice University‘s research, talent and innovation ecosystem and non sibi ventures’ vast network of talented technology leaders, the partnership will also create new opportunities between founders, researchers and industry experts.
