Expert hires within the fields of big data and analytics, combined with a renewed focus on strategic business development, are expected as a result of this latest funding round.
“Having a support of 2be.lu is very important for Sprii. The new investments will give us an opportunity to continue to deliver exceptional services for our customers, expand to new regions and scale the project” - said Sprii Founder, Sarah Jones.
