“The building that integrates the R&D center will be outfitted with state-of-the-art prototyping equipment and tools necessary for an agile engineering team to deliver prototype designs in rapid turnaround,” Dr Walker said.
“The facility will create dozens of new STEM and other attractive jobs as KULR begins to contribute to the economic engine of Texas.
