The EIC Scaling Club will connect us with hundreds of the world’s leading investment firms, corporations, media representatives, vetted business mentors, and other industry stakeholders. This network will provide unparalleled support and opportunities for growth and collaboration.
Future Prospects
The future is bright for Pedestrian Autonomous Driving AI, now applied in our Glasses for the Blind. As part of the EIC Scaling Club, we are poised to make significant advancements in assistive technology and continue empowering the blind community.
How the Program Will Help Us
This exclusive program, funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC), will significantly aid our growth by providing us with invaluable networking opportunities with top founders and CEOs, facilitated access to strategic partners and investors, and tailored coaching and mentoring sessions.
