The Interceltic Business Forum took place in Lorient, France, on August 4th. This vibrant event aimed to celebrate businesses from the Celtic regions, while also providing a platform for networking opportunities for those from outside these areas. The award we received was evaluated by a jury of 15 experts who considered various criteria, including innovation, scalability, market potential, and overall alignment with the Forum’s mission of fostering connection and collaboration.
At Hertzian, we see this award as a testament to our unwavering commitment to innovation and our dedication to connecting with like-minded individuals and communities. We believe that collaboration is key to driving progress, and this recognition inspires us to continue our journey with renewed passion. 💪
A big thank you to the event organisers and everyone we met at the Forum for creating an engaging and inspiring atmosphere. It truly was a wonderful experience, and we’re excited to build upon the connections we made. And of course, a special thank you to Charles KERGARAVAT, founder of the Interceltic Business Forum and its partners. Without your commitment and vision in bringing together such a vibrant community of businesses, this would be nothing 🙏

This past August, Europe’s biggest Games Showcase, Gamescom, opened its show floor and held its Opening Night Live (ONL) for the world to see! These sorts of events happen all the time, but it’s never easy to tell how exactly everyone feels about them. Sure, you can look in the comments on YouTube or browse Reddit, but there’s no real way to get an objective, comprehensive view of how people feel about Gamescom.
