Founded in 2001 by a group of engineering students from the IST engineering school in Lisbon, Portugal, TEKEVER has grown into a significant player in the aerospace, defence, and security technology sectors.
The company began its international expansion in 2006, establishing operations in the United Kingdom, the United States, and France. Under the leadership of CEO Ricardo Mendes, TEKEVER operates on a surveillance-as-a-service model. This business model is centered on providing clients with actionable, real-time intelligence gathered by its proprietary technology.
The company's primary market is the global defence and security industry, with a particular focus on maritime surveillance. Clients include government and security organizations that require enhanced situational awareness for missions such as maritime safety and life-saving operations.
TEKEVER's service is delivered through a combination of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and satellite technology. At the core of its platform are AI-centric autonomous systems that enable the collection and analysis of vast amounts of data without constant human supervision. This allows the company to deliver critical intelligence efficiently and effectively, with the stated goal of making oceans safer and saving lives.
