He presented the company's leading product, spoke about the business model, and also shared plans to enter the international market.
At the end of 2020, SODIS Lab, the developer of solutions for the digital transformation of the construction industry, was included in the list of 20 IT companies that passed the competitive selection of the joint acceleration program of the Moscow export center (MEC)** and the IIDF accelerator.
According to Andrey Shakhramanian, during the acceleration, the SODIS Lab team analyzed the building management market in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and found that about 50% of companies are implementing or ready to use hard facility management solutions for flexible configuration of digital interfaces for the operation of facilities.
