Securing Your $4,800 Travel Technology Grant at ITB Berlin 2026

altovo (formerly easyGDS) announced a significant industry initiative ahead of ITB Berlin 2026: a $480,000 technology grant programme benefiting 100 independent travel agents.

The Initiative

altovo is offering 100 professional booking engine licences, each with a market value of $4,800 per year, for exactly $0. This represents altovo's effort to address the digital disparity between large carriers and independent agents by providing enterprise-grade tools at no cost.

When independent agents have access to world-class technology, the entire travel ecosystem thrives. That is the belief behind this initiative. With only 100 licences available, the company encouraged immediate registration before closing the list.

Platform Capabilities

The white-label SaaS platform includes:

• Dynamic packaging for flight, hotel, and tour bundles
• B2C and B2B functionality
• Global payment processing through WowPay (80+ channels, 50+ currencies, PCI Level 1 security)
• Drag-and-drop website builder requiring no coding expertise

Claim Process

altovo simplified the registration to three steps:

1. Pre-register ahead of the event
2. Technical preparation of your branded environment
3. On-site activation at ITB Berlin (March 4–6) with a 15-minute setup session

Company Background

altovo has built systems for major airlines including Etihad and Malaysia Airlines. Established in 2021, the company has consistently focused on making enterprise-grade travel technology accessible to businesses of all sizes.
