Anto Livat, entrepreneur and lecturer "It was nice to get the chance to talk to the CEOs in person."" Lisa Bohm, delegate "It was cool to hear more details about the startups because it was very inspiring. It made me realize that I can reach the same as long as I work hard for it. The speaker of Taxify made the most impact on me because he started when he was very young and has already reached so much by working hard and going on even through tough times.."
