Testimonial

I want to thank the IEDC team for their technical support program of helping small businesses. I find this to be a useful program, especially for the Vietnamese Community with the language issues. In the past, I was very shy and hesitant about participating in any city or business programs due to this. Now with IEDC supporting, I feel reassured and hope that the IEDC team continue these programs to help us small businesses to overcome the difficulties during this pandemic season.”
