Atos Group, a global leader of AI-powered digital transformation, announced that it has completed the sale of Bull, its Advanced Computing activities, to the French State for an enterprise value up to €404 million including contingent earn-outs totalling €104 million.  The Group previously announced that it had signed a share purchase agreement on July 31, 2025 following the receipt of a confirmatory offer. The transaction perimeter has been adjusted since signing to exclude zData, a leader in Big Data consulting and solutions. As a result, contingent earn-outs were revised from €110 million to €104 million (and consequently the enterprise value from up to €410 million to up to €404 million). The Advanced Computing activity comprises the High-Performance Computing (HPC) & Quantum as well as the Business Computing & Artificial Intelligence divisions. It generated revenue of c. €0.7 billion in fiscal year 2025 and was previously part of Eviden, Atos Group’s brand for products

Tech Soft 3D, the world leader in providing engineering software development toolkits (SDKs), announces the full release of HOOPS AI,  the first framework purpose-built to unlock AI and machine learning for CAD data, following a successful beta program involving more than 30 companies.  HOOPS AI is now available to the general public, ready to support developers and data scientists looking to integrate 3D engineering data into modern machine learning pipelines. Despite the transformative effect of machine learning technology on many industries, its ability to leverage CAD data has remained elusive. Existing tools rely on fragile workflows and improvised scripts, proving prohibitively expensive and time-consuming for most organizations. HOOPS AI provides the first framework to build machine learning models specifically with CAD data. First introduced in late 2025 as a technology preview, HOOPS AI has built on the feedback from companies across the engineering software ecosystem. This helped shape the framework’s workflow, tooling, and machine
