A Panamanian financial technology company has successfully launched its national flag to the edge of space. KrediYA executed the high-altitude balloon mission, which saw the Panamanian flag and the company’s logo ascend over 30,000 meters above the Earth. The launch, accompanied by the national anthem, created a moment of intense patriotism and excitement for those present.
The project required a specialized technical team to build and monitor the balloon, which was equipped with cameras and a GPS tracking system. This equipment documented the entire journey from ascent to its return to Earth. The capsule carrying the symbols reached an altitude exceeding 30,100 meters, a region of the upper atmosphere bordering the Stratosphere.
Company officials described the event as a representation of Panamanian entrepreneurial spirit and determination. They framed the ambitious project as a testament to what the nation can achieve.
“This project demonstrates that with passion, teamwork, and vision, Panama can go as far as it sets its mind to,” [Translated from Spanish] a KrediYA spokesperson said during the launch event. The team reportedly approached each technical challenge with rigor and discipline.
Organizers confirmed they overcame significant technical, logistical, and legal hurdles to make the launch possible. This process involved securing special aeronautical permits and coordinating closely with national authorities. Every step of the operation, from planning to execution, was treated as a critical challenge requiring precise solutions.
A New Marketing Frontier for Panama
With this initiative, KrediYA establishes a new milestone for marketing within Panama. The company seeks to reinforce its commitment to creativity and technology. It also aims to build a positive message for the country on a global scale. The stunning footage of the flag against the curvature of the Earth provides powerful visual content for this campaign.
