Let’s start at the beginning:

In 2000,_

Padtec Holding S.A. (B3: PDTC3), formerly Ideiasnet S.A., started operations as an investment company for internet projects. Its focus was on fast-growing technology companies in diverse areas of activity.

For years, the company positioned itself as a technology venture capital company in Brazil, actively participating in all stages of development of its investees. Over time, it became a reference in the sector and synonymous with entrepreneurship with a high level of Corporate Governance.

In 2015,_ 

the company started a process of simplifying its corporate structure. In the second quarter of 2020, it carried out the incorporation of shares issued by Padtec S.A., its only asset until then, with the consequent conversion of Padtec S.A. into a wholly owned subsidiary.

Today, Padtec Holding is the sole shareholder of Padtec S.A.,_

a global provider of next-generation, flexible, high-capacity optical transmission solutions based on DWDM technology.
