Team:TUDelft/Sponsors
We thank the many institutes and companies that have helped us make our project become a reality.
Without the financial support and support in the form of for example lab equipment, our project
would not have been able to become a reality.
Next to everyone who helped financially, we also have a special page for all the people who supported our project in other ways.
