Our story
PONTOS is the first decision support software that integrates a human and environmental dimension. A company that Luis Diaz launched in partnership with INRIA, the French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology. The company was born from his passion for seafood and technology plus the desire to lead a change.
After 10 years of activities in direct contact with fisherfolk on 4 continents to facilitate their access to environmental data, Luis was able to observe the daily lives of fisherfolk and the interest for them in developing the local dimension.
Sustainable fishing is a social issue as it guarantees stability and income for fishermen, and also for consumers thanks to the transparency and accessibility of products.
“Once the concept was tested, I went to Costa Rica to meet friends I admire among professional fishermen” explains Luis. PONTOS‘ adventure then began with the first fishing boats in a country highly aware of ecological issues.
