So what's your name, and what's your startup?

Hi, Vera.

I'm Kees.

I'm one of the co-founders at Subrata, and now CEO at the company.

Uh, so at Subrata we develop hardware for next generation wireless, so think about 5G and 6G.
1:53
And what we wanna do is we wanna solve the problem of wireless in congested situations, so where there are many people together you'll notice that your connection is really bad.

And our solution based on photonic chip technology can solve that at about 10 times less energy requirements.

And what's your goal here at Hello Tomorrow?
