Providing solutions for the digital economy
CATIE (Centre Aquitain des Technologies de l’Information et Électroniques) is a non-profit organization created in 2014 based in the Région Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
As a technology resources center specialized in digital technology, our main mission is to support SMEs and intermediate size companies in their digital transformation and to help them embracing and integrating related technologies.
Furthermore, we also work on research projects with public laboratories and digital technologies experts (startups, large companies…) and frequently participate in EU-founded projects.
