🎤 We held a brilliant panel discussion, "Dare to Be Different: How Industry Disrupters Get to the Top," featuring Emilie Vanpoperinghe of Oddbox, Rob Abrahams of COAT Paints, and Eduardo Cannizzo from Republic Europe, expertly hosted by Aisling Connaughton of Cyd Connects.

🏆 Lastly, we joined the BE100 Pitching Final, where Katherine Gilroy from Republic Europe was on the panel, asking thought-provoking questions to the finalists. Congratulations to Library of Things, Reboxed® and UrbanChain for winning the three categories!
