A sustainable harvest

In the coming year, TRACK will focus primarily on harvesting, as we said in the previous newsletter. But what is a good harvest?
TRACK focuses on SME's. In other words: how can we help companies with the application of digitization, for example for stepping into new markets?

We wish you a successful 2020!
