Continued research and product development is important to consolidate on initial product success. Utilising the KTP, TSB and Case Award funding can have a massive impact in developing new technology products in association with leading researchers.

Elektromotive
Being the first in the market is not always easy, but when Elektromotive first launched their Elektrobay Car Charging Station in the UK that’s exactly where they were.
