About Laurent Clergue
Laurent Clergue has always been fascinated by computers and software — using large scale data like space imagery and high level automation not to conquer other worlds but to provide a deeper understanding of our own planet, environment and society. After several years as senior consultant and product manager of Atos's space imagery Software as a Service (SaaS), his role has evolved to manage innovation strategy for the Atos Technology Services business line. He now manages over 10 AI and digital-powered Atos Inno'Labs supported by 100+ experts, allowing him to follow his passion and show others how to incorporate new technologies into their businesses.
Before joining Atos, Laurent was CEO of GEOSIGWEB, a pioneering geomatic software startup, where he was responsible for defining the company’s SaaS strategy and developing business in the public sector. At the end of his 10-year tenure, more than 1,000 municipalities in France were using GEOSIGWEB solutions.
Laurent enjoys offering IT solutions to problems that didn’t seem to call for spatial and computer technologies. As a unique hybrid of a humanist and an engineer, his contributions have made it possible to better monitor and safeguard our precious natural resources.
