Virtual Mission to Canada.
Our second mission goes off in a virtual way and it takes us all the way to Canada! The virtual scene offers us lobby, auditoriumm, exhibit hall, lounge, webinars and sessions. Just almost like in real life..! A nice part is that all people interested, is welcome to join in January 31st - February 4, 2022.
➡️ ➡️ The mission takes place here Jan 31- Feb 04 ⬅️⬅️
Deep dives info business and commercial strategies, autonomous driving, investor day as well as pitch sessions with panels with industry experts and study visits is included in the program.
In the program, we get to meet GoExport, our guide during the mission. GoExport leads us on “How to navigate effectively”, makes the intro for “Meet our exhibitors and book virtual meeting” and makes the mission as pleasant as possible. GoExport helps out along the way.
