The best about Webit.Festival is the networking part and getting to know lots of different stakeholders that play a relevant role in the Eastern European entrepreneurship, startup, venture and even corporate economy - so everybody active in open innovation. So you really need to be here if you want to gasp at what is going on in Eastern Europe.
