RATIOTECH and BOOTLIN offer complementary services, and this strategic partnership yields several key advantages for the customers of both companies:

• Ratiotech benefits from additional embedded software expertise from Bootlin engineers, with a focus on embedded Linux system development.
• Bootlin gains access to an enriched pool of hardware expertise, facilitating the development of Linux Board Support Packages, platform bring-up, and issue resolution.
• Bootlin and Ratiotech are now equipped to offer comprehensive product development projects, encompassing both the hardware and embedded Linux operating system, enabling their customers to concentrate on their core applications.

As part of this partnership, Ratiotech will also be co-locating its offices with Bootlin starting early next year, in Colomiers, France. This geographical proximity will further extend the partnership and allow both companies to provide fully integrated combined services to their customers.

In addition to this partnership, Bootlin CEO Thomas Petazzoni and Bootlin COO Alexandre Belloni have acquired 35% of the shares of Ratiotech, providing enough funding to accelerate the development of Ratiotech, to increase its capital up to 20 K€, and to secure the future hires of Ratiotech’s engineering team.
