Quebec’s Creative Industry Visits Hong Kong

Representatives from the creative sector in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta had a unique opportunity to connect internationally with a variety of Quebec, Canada companies at a breakfast meeting on Friday, February 22 at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Hong Kong.
