The Dynergie teams identified the FTJ grant with a thorough understanding of the challenges facing K-Motors during its industrialization phase. When putting together the application, Dynergie’s technical expertise was decisive in this project, which was structured to follow the critical path of industrialization. Another major advantage was their knowledge of the methodologies used by public decision-making bodies, which was a great help, providing peace of mind and a clear vision throughout the process. Well done, Team Dynergie—Raphael & Julia.
