Who is Pontos?

Pontos is a French tech company reimagining the future of sustainable fishing through digital innovation. We’ve developed AI-powered solutions that combine satellite data, weather models, and onboard tools to help fishing communities make smarter, more responsible decisions at sea and on shore.

Founded in April 2024 and based in Bordeaux, Pontos is supported by Inria (France’s National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology) and backed by the French Tech ecosystem. Our multidisciplinary team includes experts in artificial intelligence, embedded systems, and fisheries science.

Our flagship product, Prisma, is an onboard digital assistant designed for artisanal and semi-industrial fishers. It helps them log catch data, optimize routes, and access real-time ocean intelligence. This core technology is now evolving into a broader platform focused on traceability, zero-waste operations, and circular supply chains—from sea to market.

Pontos tools are built to be practical, user-friendly, and tailored for tough environments. Whether it’s enabling traceable exports, reducing fuel use, or transforming fish waste into value, Pontos is committed to aligning technology with real-world impact.
