We look forward to working with Franco and his management team to help scale the combined company.”
“This partnership marks an exciting opportunity to bring even greater value to our customers,” said Mike Dager, CEO at CodeSecure. “By joining forces with AdaCore, we are combining our complementary strengths to deliver more robust solutions, accelerate innovation, and grow as a unified company dedicated to advancing high-integrity software development.”
