We very much appreciated True North Innovation's thorough and methodical approach to market assessment. The final market research report that was produced includes a great deal of detail about potential additional markets for our technology, the competitive scene and trends, which will allow us to diversify into non-clinical markets and create future robust R&D action plans.
