The inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG) will be hosted in Singapore from 14th to 26th August 2010.
 The YOG is the first new major event that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has introduced since the Olympic Winter Games began in 1924.
In 2007, during its session in Guatemala City, the IOC decided to create this new sporting event to educate, engage and influence young athletes inspiring them to play an active role in their communities.
It brings together athletes between the ages of 14 and 18 from all over the world and its vision is to inspire young people around the world to participate in sport and adopt and live by the Olympic values.
Young athletes will participate in high-level competitions and alongside the sports element of the event, they will participate in a Culture and Education Programme.
Atos is proud to be the Worldwide IT Partner to provide the information technology systems for the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games (Singapore 2010). Atos' involvement with the YOG is significant in the strengthening of our long standing partnership with the IOC, beginning with the Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games in 2002 and extending to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.
What we Deliver
Based on our long-term experience with the IOC, Atos will design, build, test and operate the IT systems to cater to these special requirements of the YOG. In particular, more emphasis will be given to digital tools and social media applications which are the new communication channels of today’s youth.
If we can turn the IT challenge of the Olympic Games into results for the billions of spectators, imagine what we can do for our clients.
