The funding partners of MTS are handpicked to create the ideal combination of industry understanding and know-how. A perfect assortment of partners contributes to a resourceful, inventive and efficient steering process.

All MTS partners have evaluated the e-commerce solutions available in the marine industry and taken a stand to support the technology that MTS provides, concluding that MTS provides the most suitable technology.
