As a leading global provider of aerial business intelligence, Sitemark is pioneering the way enterprises access aerial information. Through the development of ground-breaking technologies and AI that fuse the physical and digital worlds, Sitemark will transform the way organizations capture and analyze data.
The use of data analytics and enabling technologies is one of the specific areas within our renewable energy ecosystem, in which Korys wants to invest. The investment in Sitemark, a promising Belgian company, is an excellent opportunity to further increase this focus, as well as provide exposure towards the solar market. Additionally, we are impressed with the rapid growth of the company so far and the technological advancement of the product vis-à-vis its competitors. In a market where subsidies are decreasing or simply disappearing for renewable energy producers, analytics and intelligent insights will be key to create and capture additional value.
