Vancouver and Whistler, Canada, and Paris, France, February 18, 2025 - Atos, a global leader in digital transformation and the Official Technology Partner of the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025, today announces it has successfully delivered the full range of critical IT services that helped make the games, which took place from February 8 to 16, 2025, a unique event.

This event brought together up to 550 competitors from 23 nations, introducing winter sports to the Invictus Games for the first time. Atos provided the entire range of essential services, including data processing, timing and scoring, public scoreboards, TV graphics, as well as live results for a total of 11 sports: Wheelchair Basketball, Sitting Volleyball, Wheelchair Rugby, Indoor Rowing, Swimming, Wheelchair Curling, Alpine Skiing, Snowboarding, Biathlon, Nordic Skiing, and Skeleton.

The Invictus Games is an international adaptive multi-sport event founded by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, for wounded, injured, and sick service members and Veterans. Launched in London in 2014, the Games aim to use the power of sport to inspire recovery, support rehabilitation, and generate a wider understanding and respect for those who serve their countries.

Adaptative sports come with a unique set of rules and categories based on competitors’ health, where Atos’ experience and advanced sports technologies play a crucial role. These solutions significantly enhance the readiness and deployment capabilities, ensuring a seamless experience for athletes and organizers.

Atos relied on the unparalleled expertise of its 25 on-site professionals and 10 remote technicians from its Sport Technology Center of Excellence in Spain to ensure operational excellence throughout the 8 days of competition. More than 110 computers were deployed across various sports disciplines, in addition to providing over 300 TV graphics for the live broadcast of the event. One of the highlights of Atos's collaboration at the Invictus Games was the implementation of a remote On-Venue Result system (OVR) for certain sports, including Wheelchair Basketball, Sitting Volleyball, Wheelchair Rugby, and Indoor Rowing. Atos experts perfectly managed, deployed, and monitored the entire spectrum of the Games' technology, ensuring that all services run smoothly and efficiently during the entire competition.

“We believe this event beautifully showcases the spirit of sportsmanship and the incredible resilience of the competitors” said Nacho Moros, Head of Major Events, Atos. “We are proud that our cutting-edge technology and all the experience we accumulated in supporting the largest sport events worldwide in the past decades created an amazing experience for the Invictus Games 2025 competitors and fans alike.
