System73 EMEA — international technology leadership in Tenerife.
Christopher James Pennington has been involved since day one, when the technology venture began in a garage in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, in 2014. The original business was incorporated as Ripple Networks S.L. in 2015 and later operated as Ripple Technologies. He helped structure the subsequent ZEC-licensed Vanquish Technology operation, later renamed System73 EMEA, S.L. Under William C. Erbey’s leadership, the wider group developed from a garage startup into an internationally active disruptive technology business, described by its founding team as an ambitious unicorn contender.
