Julien Choukroun

Julien Choukroun is an AI expert and technology leader specializing in the integration of artificial intelligence with sustainable infrastructure. As Head of AI at DataGreen, Julien leads innovation initiatives focused on building intelligent, low-impact data infrastructure to support the energy transition and environmental resilience. With a background from Thales group and INRIA research labs that bridges scientific research, engineering, and entrepreneurship, Julien’s work centers on the convergence of digital transformation, energy efficiency, and responsible innovation.

At DataGreen, he is spearheading the development of a new generation of AI-powered micro datacenters, optimized for circular economy principles and powered by renewable energy sources. These modular infrastructures are designed to reduce energy waste, enable smart resource allocation, and operate in harmony with their environment, offering viable solutions for edge computing in both urban and rural contexts. Julien also advocates for responsible AI frameworks and eco-design in the tech sector, addressing the carbon and water footprints of digital technologies through measurable, data-driven strategies.

Julien is an active contributor to European conversations around the Green Deal, energy sovereignty, and the digital-ecological transition. He works closely with local authorities, academic institutions, and private-sector stakeholders to promote green innovation, sustainable agriculture systems, and cross-sectoral digital infrastructure that respects both environmental and social governance principles.

His recent engagements include strategic collaborations with climate-tech startups, participation in international tech summits such as CES Las Vegas, and leading AI-powered R&D projects that align with the EU’s 2050 carbon neutrality goals. Passionate about the role of technology in shaping regenerative economies, Julien views artificial intelligence not only as a tool for optimization, but as a catalyst for transforming entire ecosystems—from energy and transport to agri-food and biosecurity.

Through his work, Julien advocates for a future where digital transformation serves environmental stewardship, equitable development, and collaborative innovation across borders.
