China is one of the largest and most challenging economies in the world. It represents a huge economic potential but also presents a number of challenges for EU businesses - especially SMEs - trying to enter the market. By participating in the Understanding China programme, CCI.be wants to help Belgian companies gain a better knowledge and greater understanding of China. These are crucial elements to increas Europe's competitiveness and enhance Europe's capacity to take advantage of the potential of the Chinese market.
To foster the dialogue between China and Europe, to the benefit of both Chinese and Belgian/European businesses, CCI.be intends to establish a China Information Exchange Platform, where all Belgian-based organisations (business organisations, universities, government agencies, etc.) can list their China-related events. By sharing this information, we can help companies take full advantage of one another's activities. If you want to join this platform, we invite you to contact Wouter Van Gulck.
