Dear colleagues,

We hope the year has got off to a strong start for you all. February brings with it a number of important milestones and exciting developments across our Business Unit, and we are pleased to share some key highlights with you in this edition.

This month, we are delighted to welcome Stephen Duffy as the new CEO of the Business Unit. We look forward to this next chapter under his leadership.

We also celebrate a major achievement with the upcoming launch of the Artemis mission, in which ALTER has played a significant role.

In addition, preparations are well underway for the Plato Forum in Seville, where we will be hosting a series of engaging and insightful talks, and we are pleased to present new services from TÜVIT, including developments in EC and HTV.

As always, thank you to everyone who has contributed news and updates. Your input continues to make this newsletter a valuable space to share achievements and stay connected across our organisation.

Happy reading,
The Newsletter Team
