The Company is now at a critical inflection point in its commercialisation journey with industry-leading visible laser technology and highly coveted development contracts with the U.S. Government and tier one leaders. I look forward to leveraging my existing networks across global capital and technology markets to support the delivery of existing contracts, facilitate new introductions to prospective partners and customers, and fast-track BluGlass’ growth trajectory.”
