What matters to us right now is not so much our current position, but the velocity with which we’re moving. Kolibri 1 is the first measurement of our position, there’ll be more. We want to build this in Europe and this is only the start. The report also shows our focus on building out proper tooling with our Model Factory.

There’s more to come.
