FCA's milestones in 2021
Thanks to the growing support received this year, we hired our first employee and expanded with an analyst, research associates, and interns. We secured our first public R&D grant and won further projects such as CemSol and AgilOLab, expanding our reach. We also co-hosted a cleantech award, the Global Call 2021, together with UNIDO, UNFCCC, and UNCCD, and we ended the year presenting key results of our work at two designated events at COP26 in Glasgow.
