Zusammenarbeit auf Augenhöhe
Was unsere Kunden sagen.
Zur HANNOVER MESSE 2024 haben wir erstmals mit PIRATEx zusammengearbeitet und waren direkt von dem tollen Team sowie der professionellen Zusammenarbeit begeistert! Sowohl die Gestaltung und Umsetzung der Bühnenprogramme für Startups, aber auch die vielfältigen Aufgaben rund um Schüler*innen und Studierende konnten gemeinsam sehr gut und erfolgreich gemeistert werden. Herzlichen Dank für die Kooperation, gerne wieder.
„Mit PIRATEx haben wir einen agilen Partner an unserer Seite gehabt, um ein innovatives, hybrides Event umzusetzen. Insbesondere vor Ort haben wir von der Agilität und dem lösungsorientierten Handeln durch PIRATEx stark profitiert. Ein Schlüssel des Erfolgs des Events war, dass PIRATEx mit unserer Crew wie ein großes Team zusammen gearbeitet hat und nicht, als wären wir zwei verschiedene Parteien."
