What Match Arena participants say
„Zwei Stunden Anfahrt und jede Sekunde wert! Wir haben nicht nur wertvolle Einblicke gewonnen, sondern auch interessante Kontakte kennengelernt, mit denen wir nach wie vor im Austausch stehen.“
Laura Koch | Vetter Pharma-Fertigung GmbH & Co. KG
„Als Start-up waren wir mit Onuava zum ersten Mal bei der Match Arena dabei. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns die effiziente Organisation, die kurze Anreise und die coole Location! Dank der Pitch-Möglichkeit für alle Start-ups war es einfach, mit Unternehmensvertretern in Kontakt zu kommen. Schön zu sehen, dass diese auch wirkliches Interesse daran hatten, sich von den Start-ups inspirieren zu lassen.“
Katharina Jung | Onuava
„In gewohnter professioneller NXTGN-Manier, war auch diese Match Arena ein voller Erfolg. Angefangen bei der vielfältigen Startup Auswahl, über die spannenden Vorträge bis hin zum lockeren Meet & Mingle im Anschluss mit den Corporates und Startups. Ein sehr gelungener Tag mit spannenden Einblicken, neuen Impulsen und interessanten Kontakten, die das Netzwerk bereichern.“
Marion Wagner | Würth Elektronik eiSos Group
