"Today's investments and initiatives aim to prepare the French economic fabric to face the challenges of tomorrow and remain competitive on the international stage," said Jérôme Calmelet, Kyndryl France President. "Kyndryl is committed to supporting French companies in their digital transitions and contributing to economic growth and innovation in France."

In recent research, Kyndryl cited that only 28% of French business leaders say their workforces are completely ready to take advantage of AI, and half (50%) report there is a lack of skilled talent to manage the technology. Today's announcement demonstrates Kyndryl's commitment to build the critical skills, talent and IT infrastructure needed to advance France's technology agenda.
