This achievement is a direct result of the exceptional hard work and unwavering dedication of Ortus’ Italian team, whose remarkable efforts continue to deliver outstanding results and exemplify the commitment at the core of our success. In close collaboration with I Squared, we are pleased to achieve this important milestone for our company, a true testament to the strength of our partnership and our shared vision for growth within the renewable energy world.”
