Testimonials
 
        
    
  "Dear Mr. Höllwarth, please receive my congratulations for the successful event at which I had the honor to participate as a speaker about Cloud and Security in the Energy industry. The fact that the event took place together with the Conference of the Belgian Cyber Security Convention was very positive as concerns about security and privacy are among the common arguments against a broader use of cloud services. This combined conference added further value to this already extraordinary event. I was proud to present the Austrian Energy CERT as a role model for private public partnership with the goal to increase security. One of the main confirmations from other speakers was that intra and inter company co-operation is required in cyber security. Finally, I was surprised about the location of the conference center and the nice village of Mechelen. It was well suited for the event which by the way was perfectly organized."

  "Dear Mr. Höllwarth, in your role of president of EuroCloud Europe, please accept my congratulations for the successful event at which I had the privilege to participate as a speaker about Privacy by Design at Cloud. You will find my handout presentation for the participants of the conference enclosed. I very much enjoyed the entire setting of the event and in particular the fact that the event was hosted by the Belgian Cyber Security Convention. In my opinion, this added further value to this already extraordinary event. Although I am looking more on the privacy side of things, I acknowledge Security as an essential pre-requisite for digitalization and absolutely agree that more intra company co-operation is required in cyber security. I found it a ray of hope at the horizon to hear voices affirming that competition should not prevent us of doing so. Finally, I found the location perfectly suited for the event which by the way was perfectly organized. Please feel free to forward my compliments to your partners who have worked together with you on making this outstanding event happen."
