Contributed to PJ08 AAM (Advanced Airspace Management) and PJ09 DCB (Advanced Demand Capacity Balancing) under the SESAR programme.
ATOS NEDERLAND BV
Dutch IT services arm of Atos, contributing cloud infrastructure and data systems to SESAR aviation and IoT smart city projects.
Their core work
Atos Nederland is the Dutch subsidiary of Atos SE, a major European IT services and digital transformation company. In H2020 projects, they contributed IT infrastructure, cloud computing, and data management expertise as a third-party provider. Their involvement spans distributed cloud platforms, air traffic management systems, and IoT-based smart city solutions, reflecting Atos's broad capability in enterprise-scale digital services.
What they specialise in
Participated in INDIGO-DataCloud, focused on integrating distributed data infrastructures for scientific exploitation.
Contributed to SynchroniCity, an IoT-enabled digital single market initiative for smart cities across Europe.
How they've shifted over time
Atos Nederland's H2020 involvement was concentrated in a narrow window (2015–2019) and shows a shift from general-purpose cloud infrastructure (INDIGO-DataCloud in 2015) toward domain-specific applications in aviation and IoT (2016–2019). The later projects focused heavily on air traffic management systems under SESAR, suggesting growing specialization in transport-sector IT solutions. With no projects after 2019, it is unclear whether this entity continued EU project participation under a different legal name or consolidated activities through the parent company.
Their trajectory pointed toward transport-sector IT services (particularly aviation), though the absence of post-2019 activity makes future direction uncertain.
How they like to work
Atos Nederland participated exclusively as a third party — never as coordinator or direct consortium partner — indicating they were subcontracted by other Atos entities or consortium members for specific IT deliverables. Despite this indirect role, they touched 121 unique partners across 24 countries, reflecting the large SESAR consortia they contributed to. Working with them likely means engaging the broader Atos group, with this entity providing local Dutch execution capacity.
Through large SESAR and infrastructure consortia, Atos Nederland connected with 121 partners across 24 countries, giving them broad European network exposure despite their third-party role.
What sets them apart
As a local entity of a major European IT services provider, Atos Nederland offers enterprise-grade IT delivery with the scale and reliability of a multinational. Their SESAR involvement demonstrates the ability to operate in safety-critical, regulated environments like aviation. For consortium builders, they represent a gateway to the wider Atos group's resources in cloud, cybersecurity, and high-performance computing.
