Catalyst was the first to believe in our project at a very early stage and has provided us with a facility where we were able to set our R&D operations and our Proof of Concept. Being part of the Catalyst Accelerator Program has allowed us to evolve in a stimulating environment surrounded by like-minded entrepreneurs.
