“Atos has a broad set of capabilities for cities and communities that span consulting, systems implementation, user-centric design, and managed services. Its strengths include a strong R&D culture, which gives Atos the opportunity to anticipate future innovation in areas such as quantum computing, edge computing, and AI as well as to connect with local ecosystems of academia and start-ups in Europe.” said Massimiliano Claps, Research Director in European Government at IDC.

“We are delighted to be recognized by the IDC MarketScape as a leader in Smart Cities in EMEA. We believe this recognition validates our ability to deliver our Urban Data Platform powered by FIWARE and to provide our clients with the most efficient end-to-end services that are the true foundation for smart cities or communities looking to drive transformative digital change.” said Albert Seubers, Director Global Strategy IT in Cities for Atos.
