Core Purpose

Keep Europe working.

Orchestrating workforce has become a software problem.

Every external worker.

One system.

Mission Statement

We build AI to orchestrate the workforce of the future: the right skills, at the right time and in the right place.

Europe’s economy runs on work that cannot wait. Every generation, technology has raised the capacity to get that work done — steam, assembly lines, computing, robotics — and every time, the work itself stayed with people. That is what changes now. Employees, external workers, AI agents and robots will increasingly work side by side, turning their coordination into a new challenge. Coordination can no longer rely on spreadsheets and email. It becomes a software problem.

Pactos is building the AI to orchestrate the workforce of the future: the right skills, at the right time and in the right place — starting with external workforce management. Our ambition is simple: increase Europe’s productive capacity and keep Europe working.

What we stand for

The evolution of work through technological shifts

~1780

Steam power

Mechanical power replaces muscle. Production is no longer bound to the human as its energy source.

1913

The assembly line

Work is broken into steps. Mass production becomes plannable and scalable.

~1980

Computing

Information goes digital. Planning and knowledge work scale like never before.

Today

The next shift

Employees, external workers, AI agents and robots work side by side. Coordination becomes a software problem.
