“When we launched with Wolt in Iceland, we needed a venue—and the perfect moment—to make it happen. The organizers of Innovation Week helped us with everything, from planning to setting up the event itself, and everything went off without a hitch!

Our launch event on Wolt and the Platform Economy filled the big hall and was a great success. Thank you for everything!”
