Finally, we have the scope and size of this industry and what value it represents to the economy.MPI well done!
Seems, that with all the challenges these days it should re-inforce just how important it is to work collectively as a group to get over the upcoming hurdles we’re being faced with border-issues, currencey and pass-ports regulations.
Look forward to hearing on these issues from my colleagues, sincerely Sam Jonas, Meeting-SimpliCity.
