National Experts
One of the major pillars of the WSA network are the WSA National Experts. Offering their vast experience in their local ICT and entrepreneurial sector, their diverse backgrounds and their own social engagement, the WSA National Experts are responsible for the national pre-selection of entries to the WSA.
