Dear friends, colleagues, and EMWA members, despite the global COVID-19 pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, EMWA’s financial situation and membership numbers remained stable over my term of presidency. In fact, membership numbers slightly increased from 2021, and we are happy to welcome 20 new EMWA members this year. With the newly introduced concept of hybrid conferences, EMWA was able to support and engage our members on the new advances in the industry over the past years.
