A five minutes presentation from each company was a good opportunity for every company to introduce themselves and their services to the other members.

The one-to-one talk ( bilateral meeting) provided members with important and valuable time to get to know each other. We could see how friendships were build-up and businesses were developed. These bilateral meetings were so popular that members even continued after the official time had finished.
