with PROVER, IKOS optimizes the implementation of the product offering for all players in the railway
sector.

automation and formal verification tools to our customers in Europe and North America. This ensures

complementary: we share the same values, the same strategic choices thanks to our specialization in
railways, and common development ambitions ".
