The French government has selected ChapsVision’s Argonos platform as the foundation of a major national data-processing initiative, highlighting the growing importance of sovereign technologies capable of managing data generated across increasingly connected environments.
The award forms part of the OTDH (Heterogeneous Data Processing Tool) project, an innovation partnership led by France’s Directorate General for Internal Security to create a sovereign platform capable of collecting, processing, and analysing vast quantities of heterogeneous data from multiple sources.
As states and enterprises expand their use of IoT devices, connected infrastructure, video systems, operational technology, and digital services, the ability to transform large volumes of disparate data into actionable intelligence has become a strategic priority.
ChapsVision secured the second and final phase of the programme in June 2026, having already won the first contract stage in late 2024. Together, the awards position the company’s Argonos platform as a key technology underpinning data-driven decision-making across French public-sector organisations.
The project reflects a wider trend across Europe, where governments and operators of critical infrastructure are seeking greater control over the platforms used to process sensitive operational and IoT-generated data. Concerns around digital sovereignty, cybersecurity, and dependence on non-European technology providers have intensified as connected systems become increasingly embedded within public services and national infrastructure.
Argonos is designed to centralise, prepare, secure, and analyse data regardless of its format or origin. The platform can ingest information from sources including documents, images, video feeds, audio recordings, databases, sensors, and connected systems, creating links between previously siloed datasets.
For organisations deploying large-scale IoT environments, such capabilities can help turn raw operational data into insights that support predictive maintenance, situational awareness, resource optimisation, and faster operational decision-making.
The platform also incorporates AI capabilities, enabling organisations to deploy AI agents that can assist employees with data analysis, workflow automation, and complex problem-solving.
Unlike many Cloud-based analytics platforms, Argonos can be deployed on customer-owned infrastructure, allowing organisations to retain direct control over sensitive data while meeting strict security and compliance requirements.
“The trust the State is placing in us today is recognition of nearly six years of commitment to sovereignty and performance,” said Olivier Dellenbach, Founder and Chairman of ChapsVision.
“At a time when technological sovereignty is returning to the forefront in Europe, France’s choice sets an example for other European States.”
Founded in 2019, ChapsVision has expanded rapidly through acquisitions and now employs nearly 1,100 people, including around 450 research and development engineers. The company reports annual revenues of approximately €200 million and operates in more than 40 countries.
While initially developed to address government requirements, the company says Argonos is already being used by organisations across sectors including manufacturing, energy, financial services, pharmaceuticals, and retail, industries where connected assets and data-intensive operations continue to drive demand for advanced analytics platforms.
