Many people noticed it and they had a meeting with Mikå Mered, who was one of the speakers and he was really interested about IBL’s support for young entrepreneurs since he is doing a similar job in the UK. In the end he interviewed IBLers about their relation with Arctic. IBLers got contacts and cooperation opportunities in real working life.
