We are proud to represent such a diverse range of organisations, and with full members now standing at 70 – the greatest number in the federation’s 57-year history – our role as the voice of the global market infrastructure industry has never been more important.’’ Said Nandini Sukumar the Chief Executive Officer of WFE.
