Atos & AWS: Upskilling 400 Engineers in Agentic AI

Atos upskilled 400 engineers in agentic AI through a partnership with AWS. This initiative focused on practical, hands-on learning rather than just theoretical knowledge. In 2026, Atos and AWS ran a three-day agentic AI League event for these engineers. Participants moved from limited experience to building multi-agent systems, complete with pathfinding, guardrails, memory, and fine-tuned models. They competed on a live leaderboard, which scored both performance and efficiency. Participant skill levels varied, with 5% having no prior knowledge of agentic AI and 20% already possessing practical experience. The AI League format offered immediate practical application, competitive motivation, and the use of real AWS services like Amazon Bedrock and AWS Lambda. The bottom line is this approach helped Atos rapidly build agentic AI capabilities within its engineering teams.
