This Was Our 2025 Annual Gala!

Last Saturday, the Benelux business community came together at the legendary Paramount Shanghai to relive the golden age of the 1930s — jazz, elegance, and the very spirit of Shanghai as the “Paris of the East.” 🎷✨

With more than 200 distinguished guests, this year’s Annual Gala was a tremendous success, a celebration of business excellence, community spirit, and the deep friendship between Benelux and China.

We would like to thank all guests, partners and co-organizers who helped raise 28.500 RMB for our charity: Zhejiang Province and BrainCo Inc's "Tech for Limbs" cause, an inspiring program that restores mobility and independence to individuals with limb differences through advanced smart prosthetics.
