So far, the company has been focused on demonstrating that a textile blade works and to validate its economic benefits. To achieve that goal, it was required to `replicate' an existing blade, as a baseline. Notwithstanding this limitation, the first prototype has demonstrated an important reduction in capital costs. 
This project will focus on the development of the first pre-commercial configuration of the ACT Blade and test in operating conditions.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
