The marketplace business is changing at such a rapid pace that it’s almost impossible to keep up all by yourself. Luckily there are people like Ingrid & Valerie who make my life a little easier with their tireless searching (& finding) of the latest, hottest shit. But not only do I stay up-to-date with the help of the various formats of the Marketplace Universe, much more relevant for me are the personal contacts that have already been made. We are all never getting tired of saying “platform business is people business” and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ingrid & Valerie once again for the connections they have made possible. Whether it’s at events, by email, in the podcast or via LinkedIn – these two absolute power women always have a listening ear and at least one good tip or anecdote at hand. I am more than excited to see what else they will come up with.

From the inspiration at your Marketplace Conventions, to great contacts from the industry, to the continuous thirst for more knowledge and entertainment in the podcast together with Valerie. Thank you!

The marketplace quadrants, which provide a comprehensive overview of the most important online marketplaces in Europe, are particularly valuable. The platform also promotes networking within the industry through webinars and live events. This mix of up-to-date information and networking opportunities makes “Marketplace Universe” an important resource for anyone working in the online marketplace sector.
