Testimonials
The program was a very positive experience for our company. To be honest we were not expecting such effort from both EIT Urban Mobility as well as municipality representatives. We have managed to develop useful features for our products and are continuing communication and tests with the municipality.‘
Raptor has helped bring out the best in our team on a demanding international project with multiple stakeholders.’

‘A great opportunity to explore new markets and possibilities!‘
