The UK Canadian delegation were great hosts and I am looking forward to leveraging our new connections and acquired knowledge to fully embrace the opportunity that the UK market represents. I want to thank everyone involved, I am truly lucky to have been a part of this and I wish it on anyone with the same aspirations.” – Alexandre Bouchard, V3 Stent (UK Enterprise Software CTA 2022-2023)
