Why FrontoPolar
The name FrontoPolar is inspired by the frontopolar cortex (Brodmann area 10), the most forward part of the brain's prefrontal cortex. As the last region to develop in the course of human brain evolution, it plays a key role in managing high-level cognitive functions.
This area governs complex thinking, strategic planning, future-focused decision-making, and the ability to manage multiple goals—core capabilities that align with our company's focus on innovation, clarity, and forward-thinking solutions.
Our visual identity reinforces this meaning. The white polar bear on a dark blue background symbolizes strength, resilience, and purity, while the blue-and-white color scheme conveys trust, professionalism, and simplicity.
Together, the name and design define who we are: a company grounded in intelligence, driven by purpose, and equipped to lead in complex, evolving environments.
