Atos is strengthening its presence in the East Midlands with the launch of a new Digital Agentic Centre in Nottingham, part of a £10 million investment to advance the UK’s digital infrastructure.
The Nottingham facility will drive innovation in artificial intelligence and automation, developing technologies that enhance efficiency, reliability and productivity for public and private sector organisations. It forms a key part of Atos’ strategy to anchor more high-value digital work in the region, positioning the East Midlands as a growing hub for advanced tech capability.
Alongside the new centre, Atos will extend its graduate and apprenticeship programmes to create around 50 new roles by 2026. These will support the development of local expertise in AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing and data analytics, helping build a stronger regional workforce equipped for the next wave of digital transformation.
Michael Herron, Head of Atos UK&I, said, “Our new sovereign offerings will ensure our clients have a future-ready end-to-end IT estate under their control so that they can easily adapt to any regulatory or geopolitical changes. For businesses in the public, defence and critical national infrastructure sectors, the need for sovereign AI capabilities is mission-critical, and we’re proud to be working with them to make safe and reliable digital and AI development possible.
“As part of this, we are reimagining what an IT career pathway looks like in an age where humans and AI co-exist together. Our new early-career roles will give young people in the UK a multi-faceted career in the digital arena. Sovereignty, for us, includes nurturing the next generation of tech talent in the UK&I.”
Atos’ investment aligns with its wider national strategy to strengthen regional resilience, advance sovereign digital capabilities and build a sustainable pipeline of technology talent across the UK.
