With the appointment of a French industry veteran as CEO, we are optimistic that his deep knowledge of the European IT landscape, together with FPT's existing expertise will deliver high-quality services to our customers, particularly in data services and product engineering”. Phuong emphasized his confidence in FPT France’s breakthroughs in the aviation industry, also driven by the recent acquisition of French IT consulting firm AOSIS to fortify its delivery competencies.
Christophe Schewanegel has over 20 years of experience working in various senior positions. Before joining FPT, he held the position of Vice President of Sales at HCL, where he successfully guided its French division in securing multiple high-profile contracts in the healthcare, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing industries, cumulatively worth over 500 million USD. Prior to that, he was the Business Development Director at CSC, playing a pivotal role in penetrating the European market, facilitating its growth with several million-dollar deals.
Christophe said: “As the new CEO of FPT France, I am committed to building upon FPT Software's established market footprint and reaching new heights in digital transformation for the company and our clients. My primary goal is to drive growth by harnessing our organization's collective strength and global reputation.”
Since entering France in 2008, FPT has affirmed its market position and expertise by partnering with world-leading clients, including Airbus, where the two companies have joined forces in various initiatives to support major aviation players in achieving digital transformation goals since 2017. In 2023, the French subsidiary entered France's top 100 ICT Companies. During the same year, the company also acquired 80% stake in the French IT consulting firm AOSIS, aiming to enhance its capabilities in SAP, Data, Cloud, and smart solutions for aerospace, aviation, and transportation sectors. FPT France plans to expand its presence to other major cities in France with an ambitious goal of covering the entire European region. The company aims to develop a team of over 500 experts, providing timely support for its partners in the country.

Netmore Named Smart Company of the Year at the Premios iAgua 20261.10.2026 20:00:00 EEST | Press release
Netmore Group, the leading network operator and platform provider for Massive IoT, today announced it has been named Empresa Smart del Año — Smart Company of the Year — at the Premios iAgua 2026, the awards of iAgua, the Spanish-speaking water sector's leading media platform. The award was presented at the closing gala of the Spain Smart Water Summit, held at the Meliá Avenida América in Madrid. The award recognises a company that has taken an unusual route into water. Netmore is not a technology firm that added connectivity to its portfolio: it is a network operator that decided to specialise in the water cycle. In eighteen months, it has completed four acquisitions and become the world's largest LoRaWAN® network operator, with more than eighteen million IoT devices under contract across more than fifty countries. Its commitment to Spain took concrete form with the acquisition of Arson Metering, the Bilbao-based remote reading specialist, which brings a portfolio of more than 500,000
Elliptic Sets the Engineering Bar for On-Chain Risk With “Built for Compliance” Paper as New Rules Take Hold and Banks Launch a Joint Stablecoin1.10.2026 16:40:00 EEST | Press release
Elliptic, the global leader in on-chain risk management, today published Built for compliance, a paper setting out the nine engineering decisions that determine whether an on-chain risk system can support fast, accurate and defensible compliance decisions at agentic scale. Machines are already moving money on their own, at machine speed. Compliance teams now have to make hundreds of thousands of decisions a day, at that same speed. However, many on-chain risk systems were never engineered to support that pace. A compliance system that computes exposure on a schedule delivers stale results. One that defines blockchain coverage loosely enough lets a screening miss exposure entirely. A system that skips testing disaster recovery, a spike or an outage, takes down the customer’s compliance system too. That gap between machine speed and system design is exactly what regulators are now closing. As US regulators put together market-structure regulation, the GENIUS Act's stablecoin rules take h
