  • upCAT at KIT

    One of the exciting developments that happend during the AXEL Accelerator was our invitation into the upCAT program at KIT. We were able to develop a challenge and put it in front of a crowd of motivated students that were tasked to solve this challenge. They presented their results to us (and in front of their class) – and we were very impressed. Their work will help us to speed up our development and make new connections with industry partners. Thanks upCAT, thanks KIT!

Because of this success, we can now participate in the follow-up program with in-depth training. We are looking forward to this!
