It was my great pleasure to take participation in plenary session as well as in workshops and to hear that almost all stakeholders recognized IT as a solution for many challenges they are facing at the moment.

Picture from one of the workshops shows how important IT is in, for example, logistic chain innovation.

It was my pleasure to present to stakeholders some of services and solutions that we as 3-B ICT can offer.
