As Mitgo anticipates the upcoming 2024 with new opportunities, challenges, and continued global expansion, we are reflecting on the successes and lessons learned in 2023.

A Transformational Year

The year marked a significant transformation for Mitgo, as we consolidated all our businesses under one umbrella, giving rise to Mitgo Group — a multinational holding company with a diverse portfolio spanning MarTech, AdTech, Audience Monetization, and Smart Shopping sectors. This strategic move positioned Mitgo as a global player with a unified vision.

Under the Mitgo Group wings, we proudly introduced new products, made strategic investments, and expanded our global footprint by opening offices in new countries. These initiatives strengthened our position as a technology-driven powerhouse.
