Meltwater’s objective is to become one of the top 100 software companies in the world within the next five years.

After never having advanced to a football world cup semi-final before, the Spanish team or “La Roja” (The Reds) as the team is called in Spain, went all the way and secured the title of World Champion last Sunday.
