Technical Context: Connecting Your Data Universe
AI can now connect very different data sources that were previously siloed — unlocking the full value of institutional knowledge.
Structured Data
  • CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot…)
  • Member databases, licenses
  • Accounting, contracts
Unstructured Data
  • Emails, WhatsApp
  • Voice, videos
  • Documents, PDFs
Public & Private Data
  • Public: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, RSS
  • Private: athlete profiles, contacts, sensitive data
Geopolitical Vision: Data Center Expansion
The concentration and growth of data centers illustrates the sovereignty challenge at a global scale. Electricity consumption is projected to nearly double by 2030.
416 TWh
2024 Consumption
Equivalent to France's total electricity consumption
946 TWh
2030 Projection
Equivalent to Africa's projected consumption in 2027
10,894
Global Data Centers
Total worldwide as of February 2026
85%
USA, Europe & China
Share of global data center consumption
Top 5 Countries by Data Centers
United States leads with 3,984 data centers
nearly 8× more than the UK in second place.
UK (506) and Germany (477) anchor Europe's digital infrastructure backbone.
597 cables : the arteries of global data sovereignty:
Europe’s connectivity depends heavily on trans-Atlantic (USA) and Europe–Asia routes: 25/597
85% of global data center consumption is concentrated in the USA, Europe & China.

Problem: Digital Sovereignty at Risk
Digital sovereignty is now tied to data, and therefore to data centers and the providers that run them. The risks are real and growing.
Loss of Control
Salesforce, Google, AWS, Azure host your data. Rented data centers mean data outside your direct control.
Environmental Cost
Debates on energy consumption and environmental impact of mega data centers are intensifying globally.
Data as Wealth and Risk
Critical risk: providers may use your data for other purposes. Your institutional data is a valuable asset you may be giving away.
The Opportunity: Institutional Control
AI Is No Longer Cloud-Only
On-premise models, edge computing, and private solutions (Claude, etc.) now make sovereign AI infrastructure achievable for institutions.
Smaller, Sustainable Data Centers
Possible without losing power. GAFA and large owners favor global scalability — this path is yours to own.
What Institutional Control Delivers
By combining a dedicated data center with private AI, institutions can:
  • Increase control over data management
  • Retain ownership — ensure Salesforce and GAFA do not use your data
  • Drive innovation: analytics on player performance, scouting, and integrity
Value Proposition: Data Centers + Private AI
Build data centers on which we deploy private AI. These data centers keep private data secure and are fed by accessible public data, delivering full institutional sovereignty.
Ownership • Control • Analytics • Innovation : without GAFA dependency. Your data stays yours, your insights stay competitive.
