Company Description
TANNAK ABs business idea is to commercialise technical systems, products, prototypes and consultancy services for identification and tracking of cattle and animals. The aim is to become a leading independent provider of this type of systems.
TANNAK AB was started in 2006 and is located in Jokkmokk, Sweden in the outpost of Europe. TANNAK AB is owned by Ms Susanne Spik and Ms Karin Kuljok both Sámi people born and raised in reindeer catteling families. Today they are active reindeer herders and entrepreneurs.
The reindeer roam and are moved from one grazing area to another within each husbandry district. To be able to combine reindeer herding with raising families the need for ICT solutions were obvious to Ms Spik and Ms Kuoljok.
Living in the natural reserve (Sirges Summer Village) part of the year made Ms Spik and Ms Kuoljok realised the need for ICT solutions which could provide email, cached web access, reindeer herd tracking telemetry and basic file and data transfer services. They were therefore among the initiators of the Sámi Network Connectivity (SNC) project and worked actively with the tests that the SNC project carried out in 2006.
With this experience they realised the need for ICT solutions and are now involved in the development of the cattle and animal tracking systems by use of DTN and other ICT solutions. For development of the cattle and animal tracking systems the Tannak AB was initiated.
