“This initial trial represents the culmination of a lengthy regulatory process with key public stakeholders enabling Vection Technologies to affirm itself at the forefront of the digital healthcare transformation, introducing augmented reality as a new standard in healthcare risk management,” commented Gianmarco Biagi, Managing Director of Vection Technologies. “This agreement represents a key commercial milestone setting the foundations for long-term growth, providing for a strong opportunity for recurring revenue growth during the second half of FY21 and into FY22.”
