Making Waves 2022 was such an successful event. We have had almost full house everyday and grabbed lots of attention from local media and professionals from Danish Industry.
Hong Kong Economy and Trade office London attended the openning ceremony together with the Cultural Counselor from the Chinese Embassy in Denmark, Director of China Culture Center in Copenhagen, and the Director of Hong Kong Trade Association in Denmark.
