This is Merkator Group

Merkator Group has followed a remarkable journey. In recent years, we’ve further strengthened our position through the acquisition of leading companies such as Network Mining, GIM, GIM Wallonie, and SIGGIS—specialists in telecom, geodata, Esri and VertiGIS technology, and custom projects for governments, utilities, financial institutions, and other sectors.
Together, we now stand as a beacon of geospatial knowledge and technology, active in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, France, and Africa—with more than 250 geo-ICT experts. Our headquarters are located in Belgium, where we are widely recognized as the most successful player in our market.

Sofindev’s decision to invest in Merkator Group is a testament to the exceptional journey we have taken in recent years. At the same time, it affirms the tremendous potential that the combination of our people, our technology, and our data brings to this market.
