At VeraSafe, we love to foster collaboration and connection – even when our teams are spread across the globe. That’s why we’re incredibly grateful for the Starlink technology from our client, SpaceX. It recently allowed a small group of our team members to co-work seamlessly at a micro meetup in the stunning landscapes of Zambia! Thanks to Starlink’s portable internet, our team was able to collaborate effectively, share ideas, and build stronger connections – all while experiencing the beauty of Africa. #Starlink #SpaceX #Zambia #MicroMeetup #Collaboration #Innovation
