Official Certifications and Government Subsidies

Theoretical and product development research in electromagnetic shielding requires scientific and medical validation, as well as expert knowledge and significant funding. We believe that only with the support of national and local government bodies can we properly introduce our products to the public. Our R&D efforts have been supported by the following public institutions and initiatives.
