The net capital raised through CONDA crowdfinancing made it possible for us to develop the chassis of the QIUNO stroller towards series production.

We were able to ensure payment of the patent costs.

At the “KIND+JUGEND” trade fair in Cologne, the founder Marian Piper and the sales manager Marc Nachtergaele made promising contacts with stroller manufacturers.

We are in discussions about a collaboration with Isoco GmbH (https://isoco.de/), a specialist in high-performance injection molding carbon composite materials made from 100% recycled and recyclable material. The chassis of the stroller is currently to be made from this material: minimal weight, high stability, maximum environmental friendliness as it is 100% recycled and recyclable.

Based on the stroller's patent-pending lift technology, we are developing the world's first adapter for height adjustment of wheelchairs. At the "REHACARE" trade fair in Dusseldorf we received great interest from wheelchair manufacturers and medical supply stores, and also from wheelchair users, as we have found in an on-site survey, among other surveys we made.

Such an adapter will be developed much faster and much more cost-effectively than the stroller. We expect to be able to generate initial sales and profits much earlier with this new product, which will benefit the stroller project.

Our engineer Roland Schröder has worked out precise cost calculations for the development of the stroller until it is ready for series production, on the basis of which we will acquire the necessary investment funds.
