Comment

This is excellent news in that POET have recruited an industry veteran with vast experience in the sector.

Very pleased Peter Copetti remains onboard, albeit in a different capacity, we can’t underestimate the turnaround job he has done here, very pleased he is still part of the team.

The recent management changes have resulted in a much stronger management team , and everything is now in place as POET are moving forward towards commercialisation of their technology.
