Its participation reinforces Zunibal&#8217;s positioning as a technology platform capable of combining growth with the generation of positive impact in the marine environment.<\/p>\n<p>Ibone Rodriguez de Pablo, CEO of Zunibal, commented: &#8220;The support of Nazca and the addition of a partner such as Blue Earth Capital reinforce our long-term vision and ambition. We want to apply our technological capabilities, data expertise and experience in the marine environment to new challenges within the blue economy. This new chapter will allow us to continue delivering greater value to our clients, unlock new growth opportunities, and consolidate our position as a marine technology company increasingly well-placed to offer more efficient, precise and responsible solutions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Pascual, Partner at Nazca Capital, added: &#8220;Zunibal is a clear example of value creation through an organic and inorganic growth strategy at a global level. Through this continuation fund, and alongside a partner such as Blue Earth Capital, we reaffirm our commitment to the company and its management team to continue driving its development in this new chapter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sunit Shah, Principal, Private Equity Partnerships at Blue Earth Capital, stated: &#8220;<em>Zunibal sits at the unique intersection of technology and ocean impact. Its smart floating devices, monitoring systems, and AI-driven analytics give fisheries and regulators the tools to move the fishing industry towards more sustainable practices. We are excited to partner with Nazca Capital to support the next phase of Zunibal&#8217;s growth.<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Zunibal enters this new phase with a growth plan focused on reinforcing its leadership in its core business, while continuing to develop new technological capabilities. The company will continue to advance in electronic monitoring and connectivity solutions, leveraging data, artificial intelligence and satellite communications.<\/p>\n<p>Zunibal also plans to continue expanding its presence in complementary areas such as aquaculture and oceanography, where it is already developing differentiated value propositions. This will be accompanied by a selective international expansion strategy, as well as the identification of inorganic growth opportunities globally to incorporate new capabilities and reinforce its positioning as an impact technology platform in the marine space.<\/p>\n<p>This transaction marks the beginning of a new chapter for Zunibal, underpinned by a solid foundation and a proven track
