We want technology to help save lives –
 fast, safe, and everywhere in the world.

Our mission

We work together:

Together, we make new, simple, and useful solutions for real emergencies.

Why KATPRO exists

The world has many new problems today:

  • Storms, floods, disasters
  • Attacks on computer systems
  • Big accidents with many injured people

Helpers must be fast, flexible, and well trained -
 even when there is no power, no internet, or no roads.

KATPRO supports them with new technical solutions.
We call these assistance systems..
