Geneva company SixSq sold all of its share capital to Ekinops
Ekinops, a French provider of B2B telecommunications solutions, has announced the acquisition of SixSq, a Geneva-based company. The transaction, the amount of which has not been disclosed, will take the form of an acquisition of all of SixSq’s capital. The French provider is keen to use the financing to support SixSq in expanding sales and research and development capacities at its Geneva headquarters.
With this transaction, Ekinops is accelerating the development of its software activities. In particular, through the integration of SixSq’s NuvlaBox software, which turns a company router into an edge computing device. This offer is complemented by the Nuvla.io marketplace. “After we have enriched the OneOS6 middleware with SD-WAN or SBC solutions, it is now possible to expand it to any type of application thanks to the integration of the NuvlaBox in OneOS6 and access to the Nuvla.io marketplace The possibilities are endless, “says Didier Brédy, CEO of Ekinops.
“Thanks to the support of Ekinops, we now have the strength we need to quickly penetrate the B2B market and telecommunications operators,” commented Marc-Elian Bégin, co-founder and CEO of SixSq.
