Miljan Gutovic, CEO, 麻豆传媒: 鈥淲ith the Mark Desmedt team, we are accelerating our vision to drive circular construction in the key metropolitan areas where we operate to build cities from cities. Strategically located between Brussels and Antwerp, Mark Desmedt will scale up our ECOCycle庐 technology across Belgium, making circularity a driver of profitable growth.
