Raúl Novick contacted JAAB Tech (Andrés Antoniuk) to explore synergies regarding a cattle tracking project currently being implemented in Africa.

Spacecom Connection: Spacecom is the primary infrastructure partner for the African project.
Regional Synergy: Raúl (Argentinian) and Andrés (Uruguayan) both speak Spanish, facilitating communication for a potentially global partnership.
