The Polish growth fund Avia Capital has invested in Hadatap - the leader in implementing RFID technology in Poland, the companies said in a joint statement.

“Hadatap has its own software and RAIN RFID readers as well as knowledge and the greatest experience in implementing RFID solutions in Poland. Until a few years ago, this technology was expensive and had some technical limitations, and now it is becoming crucial for the functioning of many industries, quickly gaining popularity. Hadatap serves the largest domestic companies and institutions, and successfully acquires customers among international corporations, ”said partner at AVIA Capital, Marcin Wysocki, quoted in the release.

This is the fund's third investment after the purchase of Pro-Project and Elinta Charge, completed.
