“Given CyberOwl’s focus on the maritime sector, Greece has always been a priority for us. We already work with a number of leading Greek shipping companies that are pioneering advancements in vessel digitalisation and modernisation in the quest for net zero, increased efficiency and better seafarer welfare. In 2022, we are expanding CyberOwl’s footprint in Greece in order to improve our ability to cater to the needs of shipping companies in the region. Working with a partner like Brookstreet, who has a team with deep knowledge and very broad networks in Greece, will help put rocket fuel into powering our growth. I am excited to see where this relationship takes us.”
