Another exciting part of the event was when the students received valuable feedback from the audience - businesspersons from Lviv, Odesa, Kyiv and New York: both constructive critics and inspiring messages, for example, on how vital it is to be passionate about one's idea and project, to think out of the box as well as to thing globally, in order to be successful and go on with original ideas.
