Libelium Focuses Its Business on Professional IoT Technology Closing the Electronics Maker Division "Cooking Hacks"
In a technological market where the demand for professional solutions is increasingly challenging, Libelium has decided to focus on the strategic shift to offer complete IoT technology solutions specialising in vertical applications .
This decision marks the operational closure of the e-commerce Cooking Hacks, the business division where Libelium has offered electronic products for amateur audiences (makers, students...). This shutdown will be effective from December 31, 2019. Until that date, Cooking Hacks will offer very attractive prices with different campaigns of stock liquidation. Libelium will continue to offer technical support and all products purchased will maintain their current warranty period.
"As a pioneer in IoT, Libelium has offered technology for all audiences since the beginning in 2006. It is time to specialize in products and solutions with higher added value, better quality, accuracy and reliability; features that require more developed platforms than Arduino and Raspberry Pi. This requires allocating all of the company's resources to larger projects, which excludes the retailing of lower-demand components," explains Alicia Asín, co-founder and CEO of Libelium.
Cooking Hacks started in 2011 with the intention of extending electronic for makers to any audience in an educational, accessible and fun way. Over the last 8 years, the online store has offered a complete catalogue of products and components, documentation, tutorials and a forum for resolving technical issues. Not in vane, Cooking Hacks has reached almost 30,000 subscribers to the newsletter and more than 11,500 followers in social media. This audience is evolving towards the professional side of IoT through the corporate website Libelium and The IoT Marketplace, the online store that offers complete solutions that include hardware and software "ready to use".

Volante Technologies introduces Multi-cloud Resiliency Service to ensure non-stop payments processing during major cloud outages21.1.2026 16:00:00 EET | Press release
Volante Technologies, the global leader in Payments as a Service (PaaS), today announced the launch of its premium Multi-cloud Resiliency Service, engineered to keep financial institutions’ payment operations running seamlessly during major cloud provider outages. Built on Volante’s proven cloud-native payments platform, the service provides true cross-cloud continuity, eliminating single-cloud/provider dependency for the payments layer. Recent large-scale outages across hyperscale cloud providers have demonstrated the real-world impact of cloud concentration risk for banks: delayed or failed transactions, SLA penalties, customer churn, operational recovery costs, and reputational damage. While industry research estimates financial sector outages can exceed $2 million per hour, the financial exposure for many large and mid-sized financial institutions far exceeds this average, underscoring why resilience is now a business requirement, not a “nice to have.” “Payments are the lifeblood o
