ATOS IT SOLUTIONS AND SERVICES IBERIA SL

Their core work

Atos IT Solutions Iberia is the Spanish arm of the Atos Group, one of Europe's largest IT services and systems integration companies. They provide digital infrastructure, cybersecurity solutions, cloud computing, and data analytics services across multiple industry verticals. In H2020, they contribute IT platform development, security architecture, IoT integration, and large-scale systems engineering — typically as a third-party contributor linked to other Atos entities across Europe. Their role is essentially that of a technology execution partner: they build, deploy, and integrate the digital components that research consortia need.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

In the early period (2015-2017), Atos IT Iberia focused heavily on 5G network architecture, cloud infrastructure, and experimental testbeds — building the plumbing of next-generation digital systems. By the later period (2018-2021), their focus shifted decisively toward AI, interoperability, cybersecurity certification, and blockchain/distributed ledger technologies, reflecting the broader European digital agenda. The energy sector work also matured from basic smart grid participation to more sophisticated topics like RES integration and electrical power systems.

Atos IT Iberia is moving toward AI-driven cybersecurity and cross-domain interoperability — expect them to bring strong capability in secure, intelligent system integration for any future consortium.

How they like to work

Overwhelmingly a third-party contributor (102 of 132 projects), meaning they typically enter consortia through their parent Atos Group entities rather than applying directly. They coordinated only 1 project, suggesting they function as a technical delivery arm rather than a project leadership entity. With 1,529 unique partners across 47 countries, they operate in very large consortia and have an extraordinarily broad network — but their engagement model means partnering with them usually means partnering with the wider Atos ecosystem.

With 1,529 unique consortium partners across 47 countries, Atos IT Iberia has one of the broadest collaboration networks in H2020 — a direct result of the Atos Group's pan-European presence and their third-party participation model that connects them to dozens of large-scale projects simultaneously.

What sets them apart

As the Spanish subsidiary of a major European IT group, Atos IT Iberia offers something rare: the technical execution capacity of a large enterprise combined with exposure to an enormous range of research domains — from 5G to energy grids to eHealth. Their third-party model means they can mobilize quickly without the overhead of leading proposals. For consortium builders, they represent a reliable, well-resourced technology integrator who has already worked with over 1,500 organizations and can bridge digital infrastructure across almost any sector.
