What an incredible journey it has been with the Connected Places Catapult team! As our cohort comes to a close, we’re reflecting on how much we’ve grown, both as a team and in achieving key milestones for Sorair Technology. The experience has been truly transformative, and we're incredibly grateful to share our mission with Lilian Greenwood, Minister for the Future of Roads. The Freight Innovation Fund Accelerator Programme has provided us with invaluable resources, mentorship, and a strong foundation to propel our business forward. We are more excited than ever for what 2025 holds and feel confident that we are well-prepared for the challenges and successes ahead. A big thank you to the CPC team, our mentors, and the amazing network of peers we’ve had the pleasure to work alongside. Your support has made a significant impact on our journey, and we’re truly grateful for the opportunities this programme has created.
