Paris, France – October 20, 2023 – HBA, the Atos Group business leading in digital, cloud, big data and security today announces the integration of 3 new start-ups into Scaler, its acceleration program dedicated to open innovation for young start-ups and SMEs. With this program, HBA supports the development of their activities, encourages their international growth and gives them access to the Group’s customers and its ecosystem of partners.
Specialists in Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning, Blockchain and NetZero, these new recruits bring pioneering expertise that promises to enrich HBA’s already flourishing ecosystem. Their integration into the Scaler program will strengthen the Group’s ability to inject innovation into the projects that it runs with its customers, broadening its impact in the industry.
Launched in 2020, the Scaler program has already supported 27 start-ups. Over a period of 24 months, HBA’s teams have worked with these start-ups to define the best joint value proposition before giving them access to their international customers and major strategic partners. The Scaler program recently led to the signing of a contract between HBA and ColibrITD, for the creation of the first hybrid quantum computing platform dedicated to combustion, in partnership with the French institution ONERA.
New start-ups in 2023:
Rubiscape: With the exponential demand for artificial intelligence and pressing time-to-market expectations, start-ups that offers AI solutions that are more efficient, and deployable more quickly and easily are high-profile gems. Rubiscape’s multi-persona low-code Data Science and Machine Learning (DSML) platform offers a set of integrated tools to simplify AI solutions while providing visual analysis summaries, helping to meet business challenges and accelerate the implementation of even the most complex and ground-breaking projects. Rubiscape enhances HBA’s existing AI offering and is applicable to all industry sectors. Rubiscape is also part of the start-up programs of HBA’s partners AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft. It has received numerous international awards, including the NASSCOM DeepTech Club Start-up and Aegis Graham Bell Award for product innovation.
Manual.to: People at home learn through video — at work they’re stuck with PDF. The success of digital transformation projects depends on adoption: people need to get up to speed as soon as possible. Industries struggle to capture the knowledge of the aging workforce, and share it with the new generations. Manual.to quickly captures, shares and improves digital instructions, product manuals and training, with video and multilingual text. Manual.to and Eviden have a track record of helping large customers with an easy to deploy, user friendly solution.
ByzGen: ByzGen is the expert in secure registries and enterprise blockchain, having developed and deployed its blockchain orchestration platform, FALKOR, over the past 6 years. ByzGen uses FALKOR to deploy simple solutions to complex trust network challenges. This helps to address the pressure of ever-increasing data scale and data management requirements, given the growth of regulation, compliance, generative artificial intelligence, ESG (environment, social, governance) and asset and property tracking. ByzGen is also part of HBA UK&I’s Horizons program.
Other start-ups will soon be joining the Scaler program, especially in the field of quantum, to complement HBA’s new offering Qaptiva, and also in Artificial Intelligence.
