From Aichi to Riyadh: Joining the 500 Global Program
The year began in Aichi, Japan, as we embraced the 500 Global Program. While Japan may not have been our expansion hub, the mentorship and global exposure propelled us to new heights. Landing among the Top 40 Startups globally at the Entrepreneurship World Cup in Riyadh? Kudos to the dedication and brilliance of the 3DK Tech team!
Geneva Gold Medal: Changing the Manufacturing Landscape
Our journey continued with a Gold Medal at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva. The Jury's Special Congratulations affirmed what we've known all along – our commitment to enhancing the durability of printed parts is a game-changer in the manufacturing realm. It's not just about meeting standards; it's about redefining them.
Positive Feedback Loop: Networking Across Continents
As we navigated programs and events, a positive feedback loop emerged. From Japan to Dublin, Barcelona to Sydney and Mumbai, the connections we forged laid the groundwork for our success. Heartfelt gratitude to mentors, investors, and friends like Janko, Trevor, Ivo, Kazuna and Andras – your belief in our mission fueled our journey.
20 Countries in 14 Months: Bridging Continents and Industries
The journey unfolded across 20 countries in 14 months, proof of our commitment to growth and global impact. Challenges became stepping stones; rejections became redirections. We were not just gaining pounds from constant travel but gaining friends, appreciation, and confidence.
