Atombit acquires Elyadata, adding applied AI research and extending its data and AI outcomes capability into France
Elyadata matches Atombit’s core data and AI outcomes capabilities and adds talent, scale and experience, with coverage of French- and Arabic-speaking markets, in the first acquisition under the group’s new brand and go-to-market.
London, 13 October 2026. Atombit, the data and AI outcomes consultancy, today announced the acquisition of Elyadata, an AI and data engineering company with offices in Paris and Tunis. Elyadata is the sixth company to join Atombit and the first since the group launched its new brand and website on 1 October 2026.
Founded in Tunisia in 2017, Elyadata was assembled for the AI era: bringing strategy, research and engineering together, so that the people defining a solution are close to those building and using it. They are a 60-strong team combining AI engineering, solution design, development and operations for clients across Europe, specialising in insurance, banking, retail, and healthcare. Elyadata also runs an applied research activity with academic partners on international projects in AI, data and machine learning, which feeds directly into its engineering practice.
Elyadata matches Atombit’s core data and AI outcomes capabilities and adds talent, scale and experience. Its combination of senior consulting, elite AI talent and mature IT delivery strengthens the engineering behind Atombit’s Agentic Architecture, the governed design on which the group builds every agent for its clients, and deepens the data and AI expertise Atombit brings to every function it serves. It also extends the group’s reach into Benelux and across French- and Arabic-speaking markets.
“Every enterprise is being rebuilt around human and artificial intelligence working as one, and the ones that connect their functions first will compound the advantage. Elyadata brings senior consultants who understand the business, engineers who run AI in production, and researchers who keep both ahead of the market. They think the way we think, and they work the way we work. That is rare, and our clients will feel it from the first engagement. I am delighted to welcome Salim and his team as the first company to join the new Atombit.”
“Elyadata exists to put AI to work in production, and that is what Atombit was created for. Our clients keep the team they know and gain the reach and expertise of a European group behind it. For our people it means new colleagues, new markets and a group with room to grow into. We chose Atombit for its people as much as its opportunity, and I have never been more excited about what we can achieve together.”
Since its formation, Atombit has brought together Amplify Analytix, DWise Consulting, J2 Reliance, Profusion and Omega3C, backed by Palatine Private Equity. Details of each are available at www.atombit.com/news.
