Their "response was explosively favorable," states Rebecka.

"The complete strategy has been something new but also truly inspiring because we are collaborating with people from internationally."

Concerning the anticipation on the team, the director states: "There is stress but at the same time it's motivating.

"We're dealing with a big venture. It's likely the biggest that many of us have before participated in."
