Description
In this talk we will investigate the behaviour of the vacuum expectation value (vev) of the Wilson loop of a class of 3-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs beyond the large 't Hooft coupling limit. This will be achieved through the means of holography, by studying its holographic counterpart, namely the partition function of a fundamental string, beyond leading order. In turn, this will lead us to a prediction for the sub-leading behaviour of the Wilson loop vev, from holography.
