+ 1 Scaleway offers a three-tier startup program with EUR 1,000 to EUR 36,000 in cloud credits depending on your stage. Unlike OVHcloud, Scaleway credits do cover GPU instances including NVIDIA H100, L40S, and L4 — making this one of the best EU-based programs for AI/ML workloads. Includes technical guidance, a dedicated Customer Success Manager (Early Stage+), beta product access, and a private Slack community with 800+ startup founders. Scaleway is a French cloud provider with data centers in France, Netherlands, and Poland.
