Ayesa Digital announced on October 6, 2026, that it had acquired Kuik Digital Solutions, a technology consulting firm based in Errenteria. The deal adds a team of more than 70 professionals and expertise in software engineering, digital transformation, and applied artificial intelligence to the company. The companies have not disclosed the purchase price.
Kuik has more than 15 years of experience and revenue of close to €4.5 million, according to information published about the deal. Its offering combines custom software development, artificial intelligence, DevOps, and technology advisory services. Its clients include companies and organizations in sectors such as telecommunications, industry, mobility, energy, and logistics.
Ayesa presents the acquisition as part of its strategy to place AI at the center of its services and operations. According to the company, Kuik’s team will be integrated into its organization and will contribute hands-on experience with use cases, AI-assisted software development, and solutions applied to business processes.
Manuel Baraza, CEO of Ayesa Digital, said that Kuik brings agility, close customer relationships, and specialized talent, while Ayesa can offer scale, access to major accounts, and capabilities in areas such as cloud, data, and cybersecurity. Baraza described the rationale for the deal as a bet on speed and specialization rather than on growth in size for its own sake.
Félix Vela, CEO of Kuik, said that joining Ayesa could help extend Kuik’s capabilities to larger-scale projects and major clients. He also said that the integration aims to preserve the company’s agility, close customer relationships, and culture of innovation. These advantages and objectives reflect the expectations expressed by the executives; the available information does not detail results following the acquisition.
Ayesa has said that it plans to integrate Kuik gradually, with the stated aim of protecting its talent, customer relationships, and roots in the Basque Country’s technology and industrial ecosystem. The deal strengthens the capabilities Ayesa has announced in software and applied AI, but the price, financial terms, and a detailed integration timetable have not been disclosed.
