Meta × Hugging Face × Scaleway AI Startup Program

The Meta × Hugging Face × Scaleway AI Startup Program was a one-off residency accelerator at STATION F in Paris for five European AI startups working on open-source AI. It was co-led by Meta, Hugging Face, and Scaleway and ran from January 2024 through February 2025. The program brought together platform, compute, and workspace support in one cohort. Support combined Scaleway compute, access to the Hugging Face Hub and related platform tools, Meta's open-source AI ecosystem resources including Llama, on-site workspace at STATION F, and mentoring from all three partners. The public record does not show a cash prize or a recurring annual call, and no 2026 cohort has been announced. The best fit was an open-source AI startup based in Europe that could use concentrated infrastructure and partner attention over a long residency. Because the cohort was limited and the program appears to have wound down after that run, it reads more as a closed accelerator chapter than as an ongoing application route.
