Arktene

Arktene, originally Archaline Technologies, is a Altruran multinational technology company based out of Leiko-Ulist, designing and developing consumer electronics, software and online services. It is the Altruras equivalent of Apple, but more ambitious than it.

Arktene was established by Greek-Altruran Constantius Archaline in 1980, and since 2002 has expanded its influence to the entirety of the archipelago. It is the pioneer of identification systems that are now used in the Evanshire Super Pro League of Auto Racing, as well as artificial intelligence in Altruras itself.

As of fiscal year 2020-21, Arktene has an annual revenue of $358 billion with a presence in more than 100 countries. Arktene has a policy of recruiting local employees for local facilities, and competes with regional rival Galen Enterprises based from Estlenhar. Most of their international presence is through their affiliate companies that often compete with, and against each other to get the best consumer experience possible.

While it is not known for selling smartphone devices, its affiliate Ionva is currently the 4th largest smartphone manufacturer and Ionva devices are most prevalent in Altruras with revolutionary data collection technology that attempts to put privacy as the most important element.

With its expanding influence across Altruras, there have been calls to break up Arktene into smaller companies by releasing its affiliates from its influence. However, such calls have not yet materialized thanks to Arktene's near perfect safety record and its strict labor standards. Arktene answers to no government though there have been allegations of collaboration with security agencies.
