ALTEN, a global leader in Engineering and IT Services, has entered into a partnership with the Alpine Endurance Team, which competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), for the 2026 season.

As part of this agreement, ALTEN serves as the Official Engineering Partner of the team, reinforcing its commitment to supporting a highly ambitious racing program in one of the world’s most demanding endurance competitions.

A partnership focused on performance and operational excellence

For the 2026 season, ALTEN and Alpine Endurance Team are joining forces with a shared goal: to maximise performance in every race by placing technical expertise and human commitment at the heart of their collaboration. This year will demonstrate how rigour, precision, and passion can make a difference in such a demanding environment as the WEC.

ALTEN will provide Alpine Endurance Team with teams of experienced engineers, dedicated to performance. Our presence on the track and at the factory, alongside the technical teams and drivers, will enhance the reliability and competitiveness of the Alpine A424, particularly during key events such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

This partnership is part of a technological co-development approach, where ALTEN and Alpine Endurance Team will jointly explore innovative solutions inspired by the challenges of competition and designed to be adapted to industrial challenges.

Alpine Tech : a collaboration for industrial innovation

As part of this partnership, ALTEN will work closely with Alpine Tech, which is dedicated to innovation and the development of activities for external partners. This centre of excellence relies on highly technological equipment and cutting-edge expertise to design and develop innovative engineering solutions for Alpine and third-party companies. Together, ALTEN and Alpine Tech will work to optimise the performance of the Alpine A424 in competition while developing solutions that can be transferred to strategic industrial sectorssuch as automotive, aeronautics, or energy. This collaboration combines the agility of competition with the rigour of industry.

Stéphane Ougier, Executive Vice-President ALTEN

“Becoming a partner of Alpine Endurance Team for the 2026 season marks an important milestone for ALTEN. Our engineering expertise, proven in demanding environments, makes us a natural asset to support Alpine in this decisive year, where every technical detail and decision matters. Together, we demonstrate how commitment, precision, and passion can make a difference, even in an evolving context.”

Axel Plasse, VP Alpine Tech

“We are delighted to welcome ALTEN as an official partner. Their engineering expertise strengthens our sporting ambitions while supporting the development of Alpine Tech. Together, we want to make competition a true laboratory of innovation, capable of having an impact far beyond the circuits.”

A long-standing commitment to sport and innovation

ALTEN has been committed for several years alongside sports actors, an ideal testing ground for innovation. With the Zephir Project, we push the limits of absolute gliding by combining extreme performance and eco-design, while inspiring advances for sustainable mobility. Alongside the French Cycling Federation and the CNRS, we have created a digital twin of cyclists, optimising their performance through 3D modelling. These projects, among others, prove our ability to transform sporting challenges intoconcrete industrial solutions, while contributing to more efficient and sustainable sport. An approach where passion rhymes with impact.
