AdTech Holding, based in Cyprus, has served as an innovation hub fostering vibrant startup ecosystems for AdTech and MarTech projects since 2011. It launches industry-leading advertising and digital marketing companies, delivering cutting-edge global technologies. With a focus on pioneering AdTech solutions, AdTech Holding integrates diverse talent, expert systems, and scaled data science to drive innovation.
