Digital is a rapidly growing sector of excellence. It gathers in Val d’Oise nearly 600 companies and laboratories with excellent reputations. It is divided into six categories: the digital industry (manufacturing of computer products), distribution, telecommunications services, computer services, hosting services, programming and development. The sector is strengthening its investments into inno- vation, especially via artificial intelligence (AI).

One of the digital hubs of the Val d’Oise region is concentrated on the banks of the Seine river near Paris-La Défense around the following companies:

>Atos, worldwide leader in digital trans- formation, number one in Europe in the Cloud, cybersecurity and supercomputers. It provides integrated orchestrated hybrid Cloud solutions for big data and business applications and connected work environments.

>Dell-EMC, Data center offers physical and virtual storage solutions (data center, server, infrastructure networks hyper- convergent security, protection & storage of data), video equipment and conference rooms.

>Sophos, Sophos, world leader in security networks and End point systems, defends independent and in-depth testing of cybersecurity products. It offers solutions and products against sophisticated threats and risks of loss of data.

The agglomeration of Cergy-Pontoise has another cluster of digital companies:

>Thales Training & Simulation is a subsidiary of Thales Group, (specializing in aerospace, defense, security and land transportation). This subsidiary designs simulation tools and solutions, both virtual and constructive, for civilian and military applications.

>Idemia, world leader in biometrics and payment solutions, develops its products and its solutions in the biometric enrollment of customers on sites, in secure mobile transactions, the Internet of objects, authen- tications and transactions. The R&D center and design office of Idemia in Cergy- Pontoise is specialized in biometric tech- nology tools with fingerprint recognition (digital, veins, palm, iris and facial) as well as in the detection and recognition of substances.

To enable companies to work in optimal conditions, the objective of the departmental council of Val d’Oise is to create fiber optic networking throughout the territory by 2020. Optical fiber contributes to the Val d’Oise’s attractiveness for the establishment of new digital companies, an objective of the Ile-de- France Region.

The Val d’Oise is a territory of choice for companies - close to Paris with the presence of Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport. The department is  connected  by  a  motorway  

network  (A1, A15, A16), but also by a network of waterway infrastructures with the valleys of the Seine andOise rivers, which open onto the harbors of Le Havre and Rouen. A major asset for inter- national trade.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the future of digital. Atos, an international leader in digital transformation in partnership with Google- Cloud and its AI laboratory, working actively in this field, making Val d’Oise a territory of the future, open to the development of quantum technologies.
