Here is some of the feedback from audiences and clients who have worked with Peter.

"Peter Vogel was a great match and a substantial enrichment for the concept and participants of our workshop. Not only did he present perfectly well-grounded research of high relevance but also did his presentation material and skills leave a lasting impression on our client. Peter Vogel is on the pulse of the times and masters to bridge the gap between academic research and real life needs at an outstanding level. I would hire him as a speaker over and over again."

"Peter worked with the OECD on occasion of a workshop on the theme of 'entrepreneurial ecosystem and high-growth entrepreneurship'. I was positively impressed by his knowledge and experience in helping cities, regions and countries deploy and monitor their own entrepreneurial ecosystems. His presentation raised much interest in the audience of the workshop and contributed to the overall success of the initiative. I strongly recommend Peter both as a consultant and as a speaker."
