As the holiday season is officially on, we at akirolabs want to take a moment to extend our warmest Christmas greetings to everyone who's been part of our journey - our team, customers, investors, friends, families and the broader procurement community.

Now, it's time to rock around the Christmas tree 🎶, enjoy the festive cheer, and recharge yourself for the coming year.

Merry Christmas, and enjoy the season!

We created a moment in time that'll be hard to forget!
 
Our diverse team, from various cities and countries, united in Munich for a week of exhilarating workshops and a festive celebration to remember.
 
The agenda was packed with tech workshops, painting the future of product development, user experience, and robust security. From discussing the latest in UI/UX to diving deep into MVPs, we turned every session into a stepping stone towards tomorrow - mapping out a path for an exciting new year.
 
The agenda was a rich mix: forward-looking sessions by day, and by night, Munich transformed into a playground for our Christmas gala. The team bonded over many dinner and lunch events that were less about the menu and more about the stories shared.
 
After days filled with passion to make a change and push akiro forward, we switched gears and slid into an epic evening of curling in Munich. Games we played broke the ice and built bridges across our geographies.
 
Special thanks to our founders for their inspiring speeches and Kudos to Tim for his impeccable planning for orchestrating travels, cozy office spaces, and gifts that brought Santa right to our doorstep. His efforts ensured that every member, local and international, felt right at home.
 
As we reflect on this memorable week, it's clear – our collective energy is the driving force behind akirolabs' success. We're a family, growing stronger with every experience we share.
 
Here’s to the synergy of this past week and the triumphs it will lead to!
