Cosylab (www.cosylab.com) is a global company, based in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Their main focus and biggest competitive advantage are Nuclear Accelerator and Telescope Control Systems. Company is full of young and very motivated people that continue push the limits in their respective fields. Although I worked at Cosylab only for a short period of time, I really enjoyed the experience.
I left the company to pursue my own project, which was a relative success, but I decided not to build a company around it after all - market size was too small and I found more added value and passion elsewhere.
