The programme saw students from CESL Group, individual entrepreneurs, Managers of NGOs and business owners from the Macau Zhuhai Cross Border Industrial Zone. All the participants had a common goal of which to understand the preconditions and ecosystem of digital business and prepare themselves and their businesses for the future.
