---Peter Kersten (Ambassador of BNO of the Netherlands) The Canton Fair is an incredible micro cosmos where the whole world

gathers together: manufacturers, buyers, investors, trend watchers, business tycoons, researchers, chief innovation officers. We designers must make use of this unique event and understand the driving forces of all these entrepreneurs here gathered together.

---Michel Millot （ Founder and chief designer of a French design company ） At the 109th session of Canton Fair, it is very unforgettable

that industry design service is introduced not only to Chinese enterprises but also worldwide buyers. In the fair, we have known all walks of industries which help to increase our company’s reputation both inside and outside China. We will be a very useful way to let enterprises have their new product design.

---Brian Roderman (Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer of a U.S.A design

company) I love it! It’s great to be here and see the international and global

event. I love to see all the people from all over the world talking about design, participating in design, getting to meet the design friends from other parts of the world. This is my first time participating in PDC activities. I find not only Chinese manufacturers, but also global buyers from Europe and other countries come to consult us. I am excited about this, because this can become a new business mode: third-party market demand+American-Chinese design+made-in-China.

---David Fannin (Managing Director of a UK design company) I would like to thank PDC for giving us the opportunity to be part of the

canton fair. They have been extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process, providing an excellent central venue for the various events, meetings and networking.
