At the first WEConnect International Exhibition and Matchmaker event in Nigeria which took place on 4-5 May,2015 in Lagos , ETHNIKOS was matched with Procter & Gamble, NBC(Coca –Cola), Etisalat, Dangote, Exxon Mobil , Cadbury, Access Bank, Next Cash and Carry, Hilton . The matchmaker sessions created the opportunity to have one on one sessions with procurement managers from these companies. The networking was great and the beauty of it all is that it happened all under one roof. We are now following up on our proposals.
The icing on the cake was that we had Elizabeth Vazquez the founder of this great organization join us and spur us on to greater heights.
I’m happy to be a WEConnection!
