Very well organised. The vetting and the ground work done prior to the visit helped a lot. The participation of key leadership in the discussions showed the openness to embrace new technology and ideas. The intense program was an accelerated market visit that covered a diversity of potential business partners and investors. Given the amount of time, the coverage was balanced and appropriate. Visits were adjusted based on pre-trip feedback on who we would like to meet, enabling us to calibrate our assumptions. The programme provided a clearer vision of our growth strategy going forward. The team did an outstanding job pulling it off.
