Come and join us at the yearly Belgian Business Seminar! Belgium has a long and rich history of brewing beer, and we are known for our wide range of flavors and high-quality beers. At this seminar, we are uncovering the story behind building the bridge between the Belgian beer culture and the Asian consumers. We will take a look at how beer is building connections with communities and how it's been supporting the local economies in APAC for over 40 years. What are the preferences and trends in Asia for the next coming years? Come and find out! Please reserve a limited seat here: https://lnkd.in/gYTF-wTD
