Our common goal is to provide high-quality services to our customers in the future and to assist them in their further development, which will be made possible by the strong financial backing provided by the partnership with Genesis Capital Growth. At the same time, we will focus on the continued development of our employees, whom I see as a key element of the company’s future success.”
