The establishment of a Private Capital Company spin-off, with the name “TopoTronics Spin-off IKE” and the Foundation’s participation in the corporate composition of the company, was approved by the NTUA‘s Rector’s Council.
With the decision of December 27, 2022, the purpose of the company is to develop hardware and software for the collection, management and processing of geospatial data.
