It’s a nice way to become more open. And being open is a promise for innovation

COLBOND

Excellent networking opportunity in which practices and experiences are shared between large and small players in the industry.

AVENTIS

I have enjoyed the meeting and was in fact very positively surprised. It was very good to get this cross-industry feedback and I took back quite a few refreshing ideas which are worthwhile to follow up. This was definitely no waste of time and I will look forward to E.N.G.’s next meeting.
