About ZFC Systems
ZFC Systems engineers sovereign-grade, net-zero-ready data-centre campuses for organisations that require local control of compute, carbon and capital. From Paris, our invitation-only programmes are already under way in the Île-de-France region, scaling from 5 MW edge nodes to 120 MW AI clusters.
Bespoke engagements · Resource honesty · Global reliability
Mission
Design and deliver sovereign-grade infrastructure that unlocks frontier-scale compute without exporting data, energy or value offshore.
Vision
Prove that high-density compute and environmental stewardship can coexist, setting a new benchmark for responsible digital growth.
Our Story
Established in Paris in 2025, ZFC Systems and ZFC Research were founded as a dual engine: the lab pushes the boundaries of thermal science, AI-driven operations and grid-interactive energy, while the Systems team transforms those breakthroughs into production-grade data-centre campuses. Our first deployments are already advancing in Île-de-France, validating liquid-ready power blocks and heat-reuse loops under live load.
Why ZFC Systems ?
- Sovereignty by Design : ownership, keys and policy control remain local.
- AI & Data Duality : campuses support >100 kW AI racks and ISO 27001 data vaults.
- Resource Honesty : PUE < 1.2, WUE < 0.2 L/kWh, embodied-carbon budgets.
- Economic Uplift : renewable PPAs, skilled jobs, heat-reuse networks.
- Invitation-Only : limited mandates to preserve focus and confidentiality.

Method
- Referral Gate : mandates begin with a vetted code.
- Model → Prototype → Campus : digital twins proven in the lab before concrete.
- Structured Gates : risk, carbon and resilience scored at every phase.
- Open Metrics : clients access live telemetry APIs.
- Lifecycle Care : we operate what we build.
Leadership bios and project news will be published as they are confirmed.
