Panasonic has tied up with Atos to develop technology-based solutions for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Atos, a provider of ICT services and Panasonic, a provider of audio visual technology, will create new business synergies.
They will jointly develop and test AV security systems, as well as electronic visual display systems including digital signage to be placed in the stadiums and other facilities including the roll out of multilingual digital displays during the Tokyo 2020 Games.
Tatsuya Kamimura, managing director of Atos, said: “We are confident that this collaboration will take Tokyo 2020 to a whole new level of success by connecting the Olympic Games to a new generation of viewers, spectators and participants amidst a rapidly changing digital landscape.”
