We didn't know what the welcom e would be like, but at the end of the day , we had a great event . We had about 2,000 meetings for the 32 Israeli companies that came with us . The reaction was very businesslike . Nothing special . We know some actions took place out of the venue , but nothing really bad and also I have to say that the local organization of the M obile World Congress took steps and actions that really kept us safe . So, we focused mostly on doing business .” Ram added that they did not hide the fact that they are from Israel and “are proud to be Israeli . We were walking around here with the Israeli logo and everybody knew we are from Israel . There is a huge sign above us say ing ‘ the Israel Pavilion .’ W e didn't hide anything .”
