Company
CognitiveSand is based in Toulouse and guided by a European vision of useful, secure and responsible AI.
It was founded in August 2025 by Dr Jean-Michel Rogero, after nearly twenty years of work at Airbus on propulsion research, innovation and AI. From 2019 he was a member of the "AI in One" task force, tasked with developing the use of AI in Airbus engineering. He worked notably on the Blue Condor hydrogen flight tests, which characterised hydrogen contrails with DLR, and then coordinated HyLENA, a Horizon Europe project exploring a propulsion concept for commercial aviation that combines solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) with turbomachinery. He founded CognitiveSand to help organisations apply AI without losing control of their sensitive data, their engineering discipline or their governance.
How it works
The approach starts with awareness and diagnosis, then a focused pilot, role-specific training, responsible AI controls and a measured decision to deploy, improve or pause.
