Along with University Students, Entrepreneurs and SME owners interested in innovation, management and entrepreneurship, the Gamify multiplier meetings were held with the assistance of AJEV president and associate of the organization and company leaders experienced on the entrepreneurial process. The events were attended in total by 50 people who left the room with new ideas and intentions to use GAMIFY gamification environment in the future.

FyG Consultores explained the functionality of innovative learning tool with modules and
didactic materials. The Multiplier Event participants were informed about the roles of a player and actively learning and practice that can be achieved with a use of Gamify risk-free environment and how this thought processes can easily be transferred from the simulated game to class. As the attendants were regular users of this type of learning games or people which very totally new in a use of gamification, the use of Gamify was a very interesting offer to them. For this reason, many of the users will consider Gamify for their future use or to promote them in every possible environment. Also, having the opportunity to explain and contrast the opportunities that Gamify offers to and audience who was already experienced with entrepreneurship was a positive outcome as it allowed the session to be highly dynamic even from the start. The questions proposed were more direct and concrete, the interest in the project was real, and the willingness to try out the game was evident from the beginning of the event, not only at the end.
At the end of the event there was a tim
