Dear #LTST23 Team, thank you for great partnership! I enjoyed all the booths around the location, where new ideas were presented. The pitches from the start-ups were impressive! So much creativity and energy! A good vibe during the whole event, happy faces and interesting discussions in the WSs which are showing us how different we think, how different we approach topics. There is so much we can learn from each other, it is just about giving space and respecting each others opinion. Lets make it a a wonderful get-together in June again!
