Maha Mohamed Albulushi, the manager of Sas Centre of Entrepreneurship commented on the event: "It is great to see the energy of the event and the competitiveness of the teams. As this is
the very first such event in Oman, we were definitely not expecting such engagement and mixture of different people in the event. We have gathered true professionals, jobseekers, freelancers and college students working in teams over the week-end." Maarika Susi, the main organizer for the event from Garage48 side added:
"It is really inspiring for me to see the
great amount of women engaged in the event and working hard to show results tomorrow. Knowing the cultural background and traditions here we appreciate women challenging themselves for that. Women in Estonia should take it as an example and come out with their ideas. Garage48 Pärnu 2014 Women Special event already 10-12 October is giving a great possibility for that:)".
