We want to express our gratitude to all the speakers of Accelerator, who invested their knowledge, strength, time, shared their experience. At the beginning of our project we felt like blind kittens, who, in principle, know the goal, know the beginning, but do not see the road. And it was the consultants, mentors who highlighted this difficult, difficult path with their advice, parting words, tips.

Now we can confidently say that the knowledge and skills gained within the framework of the Accelerator can and will be applied not only in the framework of work on the project, but also in our daily work activities.
