More and more companies and institutes trust Strata:
âI am very happy to have met Strata, they did a very good job. It was surprising for me how well they understood our technology, how they got inside the project and the technology. I got the feeling that they understood things I hadnât even explained, and itâs because they learnt very easily. They made a very good proposal because they understood the project very well and they have a deep knowledge of what is neededâ.
Josep MontanyĂ , Founder and CEO of Nanusens (UK)
âWe have only positive things to say about Strata. They have been very engaged and helpful throughout the whole process. We would not have succeeded without themâ.

Thomas Li, Co-founder and CTO at Chassis Autonomy (Sweden)
