“It’s a very exciting time for Micro-X as we continue to develop our own sales activities and open up new paths to market with this highly capable team. I’m looking forward to demonstrating an increasing sophistication in how we express and communicate our brand and the strategic nature of our broadening marketing reach, sales capabilities, and the Company’s commercial acumen as we enter our next phase of development. Our task at hand is to focus on Nano sales and expanding Rover marketing activities to execute on planned first sales this year whilst building our long term platform.”
