“I had an opportunity to cooperate with Protech and their employees during the European Eureka
project E!4924: REMSIS. This was a 3 years long project, which included research and development of
intelligent traffic surveillance systems based on advanced IT technologies. It integrated computer
vision, machine learning, development of server side applications, as well as embedded computing and
programming.
Protech was an industrial partner, and their programming skills combined with extensive computer
vision and machine learning knowledge were crucial for the success of the project. Protech
demonstrated competence in both technology and business part of the project, with high dedication to
achieving all the objectives. Their organizational skills were invaluable asset for the consortium.
Protech’s employees were also engaged in the scientific part of the project, as researchers, authors and
co-authors of scientific papers published at domestic and international conferences.
I highly recommend Protech as an industrial and scientific partner for research and development of new
products, and consortium partner for competing for different international funding schemes.
Should you have any questions regarding this recommendation, please contact me.”
