 “Innovations – it is not an inspiration or a cool idea, it is a difficult process, – says Vsevolod Onyshkevych. – Remember, things that you see now will be totally different in the future. If we want to grow, we can’t stay on the same place. If not to take a risk, it’s impossible to become a visionary.”
