Atos is the Worldwide IT Partner of the Paralympic Games
Atos has provided IT solutions to the Paralympic Games since 2002 and is the Worldwide IT partner of the International Paralympic Committee since 2008.
The Paralympic Games are elite sport events for athletes and clearly emphasize the participants’ athletic achievements, not their disability. The movement has grown dramatically since its early days.
The role of IT at the Paralympic Games is changing significantly, reflecting new expectations about its organization, delivery and experience.
Our business technologists support the Paralympic Games and over 20 other major para-sport events including events such as the IPC Athletics World Championships and IPC Swimming World Championships.
The IPC and Atos work together and make step changes in technology innovations to turn the Paralympic Games into a fully connected global experience
