Atos Renews Its Commitment to the 'I Choose French Tech' Program
This Wednesday, the IT group Atos announced the renewal of its commitment to the national 'I Choose French Tech' program. This membership is part of a collective effort to exceed 2 billion euros in purchases from French startups and to promote national technological innovation.
A Structured Open Innovation Strategy Focused on Key Priorities
Atos plans to focus its collaborations with startups on several technological areas: cybersecurity and AI-based security operations centers, artificial intelligence and agent technologies, digital sovereignty, smart territories, environmental digital twins, climate resilience, as well as future mobility and smart industry. The group will work closely with the French Tech Mission to define a roadmap aligned with these strategic priorities, identify high-potential startups, and develop concrete collaborations through the implementation of pilot projects and deployments. The partnership will be based on measurable objectives in terms of procurement and collaborations, accompanied by the monitoring of indicators to measure the impact of the initiatives undertaken.
Operational Levers Mobilized: Scaler and the Inno'Labs Network
Atos will rely on its 'Scaler' program, designed to accelerate collaboration with startups and deploy their solutions on a large scale to its clients. The group will also mobilize the skills of its local network of Inno'Labs, whose territorial coverage helps identify high-potential young companies in regions from their early developments. Through these two mechanisms, Atos aims to facilitate the integration of startups into complex corporate environments and contribute to the industrialization of their technologies by combining them with its expertise in cloud, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. This approach should enable young companies to accelerate their growth while providing the group's clients with rapid access to cutting-edge innovations.
