FMCC Chairman Rutger Verschuren thanked the guests, sponsors, partners and donors for their support.

“For us, Macau is the natural stepping stone between France and the Greater Bay Area,” said Verschuren.

“That is where FMCC wants to make a difference: helping SMEs find their way, opening doors for business and giving something back to the community.”
