Session
Over the last two years our team has been working on the Pocket Science Lab. While we were connecting with each other online for years the Corona crisis posed a new challenge to us: Chip and component shortages. In this panel we will share our story of how we are tackling this problem and our ideas on how to move forward with local production to solve global delivery issues and reduce the carbon footprint of shipping.
