Business Delegation to Kaohsiung – May 23

Following the success of last year’s initiative, we are pleased to renew the organization of a business delegation to Kaohsiung on May 23 with our members. The goal is to foster meaningful exchanges between French and Taiwanese companies in the fields of maritime industries, port innovation, sustainability, and blue economy initiatives.
