ZEISS Ventures has been committed to us from our inception. And in May 2021, Scania Growth Capital joined as an investor. This investment has been made because of Scantinel's technology leadership in its field and the progress of autonomous technologies in the heavy truck industry. In November 2022, PhotonDelta, a leading photonics eco-system joined as a new investor.
