Attollo project to create 20 jobs

Aberdeen-based Attollo Offshore will create 20 jobs through a project to enhance the use of technology offshore.

The Innovation Incubator will bring academic and operational minds together to improve Attollo’s use of digital tech in areas such as automation, data analytics and artificial intelligence.
