AFKAR

What AFKAR does

AFKAR (legal name Afkar Telecom, also doing business as Afkar Project) is a Madrid-headquartered private digital creative agency founded circa 2012 that delivers end-to-end engineering, design, and digital transformation services to enterprise and government clients. The company packages its offering as twelve overlapping service lines spanning custom software, cloud systems, web and mobile (iOS/Android) applications, UX/UI design, artificial intelligence and neural networks, IoT and LoRa connectivity, AR/VR experiences, hardware and electronics, industrial design, branding and communication, e-commerce, and digital strategy consulting. Its underlying technology stack centers on modern JavaScript frameworks — including Meteor (where it is an official partner), Node.js, and GraphQL — combined with cloud, real-time systems, and emerging interfaces such as AR/VR and LoRa-based IoT.

Revenue is generated exclusively through professional-services project delivery: customized, quote-based engagements rather than productized SaaS or licensed IP. Customers include large Spanish and multinational organizations — Indra, Aena, Mercedes-Benz, Ecoembes, Cedex, Sten, seaic, and Ayuntamiento de Madrid — alongside an unnamed long tail of enterprise and SMB clients acquired through portfolio-driven direct sales and Spain's Kit Digital government program. The firm operates a distributed delivery footprint with offices in Madrid (HQ), Cartago (Colombia), Tangier (Morocco), Fullerton (USA), and India, supported by a stated core team of 18 developers and designers under founder/co-director Fernando Sainz.

The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, M&A, or public-market activity. Its competitive positioning rests on a multidisciplinary in-house team (telecommunications, computer, and industrial engineers plus design and marketing talent), its Meteor partnership, and demonstrable project credentials with named enterprise logos, rather than on proprietary technology, patents, or data assets.
