Message from Simon

Dear friends,

I am very honored to have attended the PRovoke Awards dinner in Singapore, where we proudly celebrated being named a finalist. This milestone serves as a significant encouragement for our team and partners. Thank you for the support and trust along the way.

The team in China did awesome work again this month, some examples, below, but most excitingly, we welcome a new client in Morphotonics, a pioneering leader in large-area nanoimprint lithography technology.

As we approach the first week of October, which marks a national holiday in China, let’s take a moment to celebrate our achievements and the exciting journey ahead!

Wishing you all the best,Simon Vericel
