I think four years from now was probably the, is gonna be probably the best event for the year for us. So we are a company that serves startups that our clients are startups. So to have so many of them and such wonderful pro projects in the same, in the same area was, er, was incredible for us. We met, we met really nice people that we will engage in collaborations with and also investors that participated there and other players in the ecosystem. Er, I guess next year we will go for a full week instead of just two days and probably more people within my team.

Very easy planning process, acoustics, and setup were good quality.
What did you like best about the event?
Focused, relevant to the audience, and high impact. I believe some good examples and advice were given to the attendees.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Timings are very tight, so there is no time to dive deep into topics or to have a Q&A. That would make it better.

4YFN was a fun and informative part of MWC that stood apart from the rest of the event for its innovative approach.
What did you like best about the event?
I got to meet many interesting companies I hadn't heard of otherwise and listened/chatted with the guest speakers.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Provide descriptions of what each company does outside its stall, so it's easy to find out quickly from the outset.

It was a great event.
What did you like best about the event?
The energy, vibe, and founders. There were ample opportunities to meet and network.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Arrangement of booths. It was difficult to locate a specific number i.e., if someone said D17.11 The footfall was also relatively low, IMHO.

Pretty impressive event!
What did you like best about the event?
Very interesting insights on AI and SDV. It's a great way to connect with the industry.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Hall 8.1 is extremely noisy, which can be very annoying after a while All startups (4YFN) under one roof instead of 2.

Very pleasant, lots of interesting people attending.
What did you like best about the event?
People that attended, more than the startups or the pitches, etc., also the side events.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
The whole registration process is very confusing, and long; it seems much more painful than other events.

Startups, not many, not very good, not very international. Investors lounge ok.
What did you like best about the event?
Investors are staff and networking events. A couple of startups were worthy, but not many.
What could the organizers do to improve the event?
Too many previous emails. More speaker opportunities, not just for sponsors. Info on startup booths was not clear; some were not available all days and did not say it.
