4. Market and Application Domains 4

5. Market Challenges 5
Scientist and experts are slowed down by the high
computation demand of n-body simulation:
• Every simulation can even last for several days
• Hard to iterate fast to test different solutions with
accurate simulations
Aim to tackle this issues!

6. Brand Positioning 6
