APAC is a key area for us, and we expect a significant increase in the coming years, as well as opportunities for cultural exchange aimed at developing new solutions tailored to the specific features of the market, which could also be the starting point for the development of innovative solutions in other countries where OCTO is already operation or will soon be.”
