"Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno." wrote Alexander Dumas in 1844. And, as history showed, this is the only way to rise. That's why, over the last eleven months, our team has decided to set collaboration as our main value. Communicating with other people and respecting their beliefs isn't always easy, but we deeply believe that this is the only way to build a trustful relationship.

The first step towards dealing with all the difficulties that we faced was to realize that we are not perfect. Finding the appropriate people to assist us on each occasion was a great challenge. Without our partners, we wouldn't have carried our project.

So, what a better way to pay tribute? Thank and acknowledge that all the individuals and teams assisting us in making our dream to participate in this 2020 year's competition come true than a section dedicated to them!
