Satlink is a global leader in the development of proprietary high value-added technological solutions for the maritime sector, focusing on the sustainable management and knowledge of ocean resources.
Our investment thesis was based on acquiring one of the global leading players in the attractive market of Devices for Sustainable Fishing, with a clear dominant position in some of the most attractive oceans built on the basis of proprietary and superior technological solutions. Satlink collects more than 1 million datapoints per week, enabling clients to take data-driven decisions that generate significant savings and efficiencies across relative mature end markets.
