When I met you in 2023, you told me to aim for the stars, but to prioritize traction. And that's what we did. We already have 5 LOIs with different pharmas that want to get our active ingredients. And we also have a partnership with Albert Einstein in Brazil to have our own formulation into the market. So Brazil is going to be our first sandbox, and then we want to take this to all of the world. At Eiwa, we don't really replicate the world as it is. We model the world as it could be. Thank you.
