This document has already received widespread acclaim in the media and in industry and government circles for describing the major issues facing small and medium size companies in the ICT field in a way that encompasses the views of the industry’s grassroots.
2) The medium term objective is for the professional development of members and the industry in general . We intend to do that by offering a series of scholarships and special course offers with leading technical institutes in 电竞go比赛手机版v5.9 IOS版(电竞go下注手游). We are also planning on hosting a series of seminars addressing particular issues related to running a start up ICT business. Be sure to check out the activities section and the home page for upcoming events.
