The  level  of  the  startups  was  high  and  I  got  valuable  contacts  from  the  pitch  event.    –  Nikolas  Borrel  (DK),  Livetake  

The  Oslo  Lounge  was  an  opportunity  for  us  to  meet  with  and  profile  our  companies  to  a  different  audience  from  what  we  had  focused  on  elsewhere  during  the  week.  Great  crowd!  –  Hege  Tollerud,  Oslo  EdTech
