Globtec Investment LLC, a prominent player in the investment sector with a focus on transformative technologies, is reinforcing its strategic shift that began in early 2023. The company has officially exited the renewable energy marketplace and fully committed to advancing in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI). This transformative strategy has been characterized as both pioneering and essential for fostering a well-rounded investment approach across diverse economic sectors.
Murat Karabay, the CEO of Globtec, reflected on the company’s strategic pivot, asserting its foresight and correctness. “While almost everyone is talking about AI today, we are investing in functional AI systems that have the potential to be combined with blockchain technology to maximize transparency, security, and efficiency,” he stated.
In this ambitious context, Globtec is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with ATEZ Software Technologies, a company renowned for its high-end software solutions aimed at enhancing cross-border movement of goods, as well as ensuring customs and trade compliance. ATEZ’s mission centers on automating end-to-end data flows and process management by deploying state-of-the-art technologies, which include Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Business Intelligence.
The AI developed by ATEZ has been rigorously trained using real-world data provided by its affiliated enterprises, which collectively possess over 35 years of extensive experience in customs, logistics, and international trade. The efficacy of these products has been validated in actual commercial environments, with successful implementations for high-profile clients such as Amazon, Schenker, and the International Road Union (IRU), which operates out of Geneva and has established offices across Turkey, the UK, the US, and Germany.
Globtec has plans to significantly expand ATEZ’s operations in the United States, with aspirations of relocating the company’s headquarters to the country. ATEZ has been valued at €220 million, with projections indicating its potential for substantial growth within the next three years. The ultimate aim is to execute a successful Initial Public Offering (IPO) in the coming years, thereby maximizing value for investors. Karabay emphasized their financial commitment to this endeavor, announcing plans to structure additional investment opportunities for institutional investors through the SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX).
ATEZ’s technology stands as a quintessential illustration of Globtec’s investment philosophy, which prioritizes substance and scalability over fleeting trends. The integration of functional AI systems with the resilient infrastructure of blockchain technology is viewed by the company as a crucial element for fostering sustainable and exponential value growth.
Through this partnership and the structuring of securities on the SIX, Globtec demonstrates its belief in ATEZ’s potential not only to emerge as an industry leader but also to transform the application of technology across multiple sectors.
Globtec Investment LLC, established in 2005, has reoriented its focus to invest in disruptive companies within the Functional Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain technology landscape. With a seasoned management team at the helm, Globtec aims to cultivate future-oriented projects, operating from its headquarters in Washington, D.C., with additional offices in New York, London, Geneva, and Budapest, thereby facilitating access to global capital flows.
