The Team

All in all the Team behind Daedalus-Project includes a bunch of different nationalities, personalities, strengths and a lot of new and innovative ideas.

Through a weekly Team Leader – Meeting and frequent meetings within the teams themselves, we are all kept up-to-date with the various areas of our project; ideas from all the others are incorporated into the different areas all the time to achieve the best possible results.

In the following section you can get a quick overview over all the different personalities, together forming our Daedalus-Project:
