Hive earns Bpifrance 'Deep Tech' label for our innovative distributed cloud

Hive just got the Bpifrance “Deep Tech” label! We’re so happy to share that with you. But for us, this is more than a label. Here’s why it matters—for us, for you, and for the future we’re building together.

Bpifrance is a major public investment bank that supports innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth in France. Getting the “Deep Tech” label, reserved for projects that tackle complex problems with the potential to make a real difference, means they think our work is innovative and impactful. It gives us access to resources, funding, and support to keep going.

And that’s exactly what we need: the support of everyone who believes in us and our mission.

At Hive, we want to change the way cloud computing works. Right now, big companies control the market. This means high costs, limited privacy, and a big carbon footprint from all those data centers. And it’s frustrating for everyone: business owners worried about costs, developers concerned about privacy, and those who care about the environment.

That’s why we’re building something different: a cloud that’s distributed, sustainable, secure and affordable. Instead of relying on huge energy-hungry data centers we use computing power that already exists but isn’t being used—like your laptop or a gaming PC elsewhere. We take what’s wasted and turn it into something useful for everyone.

Getting the Bpifrance “Deep Tech” label means what we do is complex and impactful. We are not just another cloud. We are pushing boundaries, solving real problems and making a difference with technology. It proves our distributed cloud model is a working solution that can change the industry.

We know it won’t be easy. Deep tech means facing tough challenges—like keeping your data safe when it’s stored in many places or making everything work with unpredictable resources. But that’s what we love. We do it because you deserve a better cloud—one that’s more affordable and better for the planet.

Now what? We’re using this to grow, improve, and make Hive more accessible. We’re offering an alternative and setting a new standard for what the cloud should be: people-powered, secure, and green.
