I am a new member of MPI, and I already feel noticed and appreciated. Previously, I didn't have so many opportunities for development, now I can meet interesting people from the business world, learn from them and get to know the world. I am very grateful for what I am experiencing now thanks to MPI, I think it is the best thing in my life, certainly the most developmental.
