“The team at Coding the Curbs was wonderful to work with. They made Amsterdam Innovation Day with the loading and unloading zone more practical and easier for everyone, and did so in a very pleasant way, without requiring much time or help. And we even got to charge ourselves at their cozy spot! Thank you for being there — hopefully until next time!”
