It is therefore crucial to anticipate and secure the necessary financing to navigate this phase with confidence. To achieve this, we rely on a balanced mix of grants, debt, and equity, ensuring the strength of our financial structure. This announcement is also an opportunity to reaffirm our appreciation for our financial partners —banks, institutional partners, institutions providing innovation funding, and shareholders— who have supported us since our inception.”
