Things weve learnt

• No one is too small to participate in FP projects
• Having only a good idea is not enough it must
  be innovative in the world.. not only in Malta or
  in Europe
• Reporting is a beaurocratic nightmare we have a
  team of people who do only that!
• Investment is a must this is not a get rich
  quick scheme
• We enjoy working in European projects!! Its a
  breadht of fresh air from the otherwise mundane
  work
