Aneo strengthens Its Commitment to Open Innovation by Joining the Open Invention Network

In today's digital landscape, where innovation is more crucial than ever, open source stands out as a fundamental engine for creativity and technological collaboration. As a leader in the development of high-performance computing and cloud software solutions, Aneo has taken a significant step by joining the Open Invention Network (OIN). The OIN's primary mission is to protect patent freedom for its members within the open source software projects. Currently, OIN members form the largest patent non-aggression community in history. This move underscores our deep commitment to innovation freedom and supporting the open source ecosystem, thereby providing enhanced legal protection for our projects and those of our partners against patent litigation.

Our collaborations with prominent entities like Crédit Agricole, EDF, AWS, Google, Intel, CEA, and numerous French universities through open source software enable us to deliver innovative, high-performance, and resilient computing solutions. Joining the OIN reaffirms our dedication to a technological environment free from patent aggression. With over 3,600 members, the OIN places us in a global dynamic of collaborative innovation, emphasizing our active role in the most extensive patent non-aggression initiative.

"Since its inception in 2002, Aneo has championed a collective, inclusive, and open approach to innovation" highlights Wilfried Kirschenmann, our R&D Director. "Thanks to the scientists who paved the way, the pioneers of the open source, and our partners, we continue to push the boundaries of innovation." Our projects, such as ArmoniK, showcase our ability to integrate advanced open source technologies to create novel solutions that shape the future.

As a member of the OIN, Aneo now enjoys additional assurance against patent litigation, allowing us to engage more freely in open innovation. This membership is crucial for preserving the integrity of open source, fighting against abusive patents, and sharing essential knowledge.

We are embarking on a new chapter with our partners, clients, and the technological community, collectively committed to an open innovation mission. Our affiliation with the OIN empowers us to explore new frontiers of innovation in high-performance computing, providing a secure environment for all ecosystem stakeholders – developers, contributors, clients, and end-users.
