THE SOFTWARE REPUBLIQUE
MEMBERS
The Software République is a brand new open innovation ecosystem in which six leading companies - Atos, Dassault Systèmes, Orange, Renault Group, STMicroelectronics and Thales - intend to pool their expertise in mobility, artificial intelligence, big data, cybersecurity, connectivity and digital twins to create the mobility solutions and systems of tomorrow.
The aim is to provide citizens, companies and local authorities with comprehensive offers ranging from user interfaces to energy management, integrating vehicle systems, service platforms and network operating tools.
By creating an open innovation ecosystem, the Software République will also be able to offer immediate opportunities for services, infrastructures and industries such as telecommunications, but also aeronautics and defence. It is a powerful lever for growth and value creation as well as a tool for European sovereignty in a market that is now global.
Atos, Dassault Systèmes, Orange, Renault Group, STMicroelectronics and Thales launched the Software République. Elie Girard, Bernard Charlès, Luca de Meo, Jean-Marc Chéry, and Patrice Caine, explained then how, together, their founding members - leaders in technology, software and mobility - are creating an open innovation ecosystem to jointly develop and market solutions and systems that will enrich the mobility offer for territories, companies and citizens.
