We owe a lot to the great people in Görlitz and Saxony who have supported us with advice and assistance - such as the start-up academy at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, whose support and mentoring has made a decisive contribution to the development of our idea, futureSAX and the Dresden and Görlitz Chambers of Industry and Commerce, who are great contacts for organizational, training and start-up issues! Many thanks to all of them!"
