R&D project accepted for funding by IWT

Great news today: our R&D project "smart audio processing for interactive multimedia" was accepted for funding by the Flemish government agency for Innovation by Science and Technology (IWT).

This means we will receive financial support (next to our own sources), but it also means that our business ideas and R&D plans were screened and found to be innovative and worthwhile enough by the most important institute for science and technology in Flanders. No need to say we are very pleased with this acknowledgement ;-)
