Move to ChapsVision is to avoid ‘strategic dependencies’, says PM amid concern about reliance on US-controlled tools
Lecornu’s office said the French DGSI intelligence agency would replace Palantir’s tools with those from the French firm ChapsVision, although since the US company’s long-term contract was renewed in 2025, the process is likely to take several years.
ChapsVision, which was founded in 2019 and made €200m (£173m) in revenue in 2025 against Palantir’s $4.5bn (£3.3bn), said it would become the “technological foundation” for “many public agencies for their critical data processing needs”.
ChapsVision’s technology, which collects, prepares and analyses data, has reportedly also been selected by Germany’s BfV internal security service. Palantir said it would “continue to support the French government wherever its solutions are needed”.
