ALTEN was set up in 1988 by three French engineering graduates. Today, the company helps some of the world's biggest companies with their R&D and information systems projects.

As a European leader in technology consulting and engineering with 15,950 employees in 16 countries, ALTEN has stayed true to its origins in engineering, which now more than ever before holds the key to the major challenges of the future.

Comprehensive security and risk management, sustainable mobility and energy performance: today's issues are complex and require a "systems" approach. They transcend geographic borders and traditional boundaries between business sectors. They require new thinking and call for major behavioural and technological changes.
