The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce is organizing a webinar focused on ‘How to successfully sell products online in China’. This event will take place on Thursday 9 April at 10h00.

E-commerce and the efficient use of focused modest marketing budget have become key aspects to take into consideration for EU SMEs when developing their strategy in China. However, the lack of reliable and trustful information makes it difficult for businesses to make informed decisions. Small EU businesses should be particularly aware of the rapid growth of e-commerce platforms in China which has diversified the entry modes to the country, providing them with more channels to sell to the market.

This workshop is designed for brands, merchants, entrepreneurs and E-commerce practitioners with a solid interest in developing E-commerce projects in China in the coming future. Our expert will provide a clear and practical view of the e-commerce environment and options for EU SMEs in China and help companies assess the potential, costs, implications, advantages and disadvantages of each of those alternatives.

The following topics will be covered:
• China at a glance
1. E-Commerce market size and performance
2. Market trends
3. Chinese Consumers Behavior
• Selling online in China
1. Modes of Selling Online
2. Third Party Platforms in China
3. Cross Border E-Commerce

Due to the fast spreading of the Covid-19 (novel coronavirus) epidemic, doctors in China are lacking medical supplies, such as protective gowns, gloves, goggles and face masks. To provide the necessary security, these items need to be replaced several times a day. Factories producing face masks have been built in record time. Still, in the current circumstances, supplies are far from sufficient.

The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce (FCCC) is therefore calling on its members and the public to donate needed medical supplies.

Those who are willing to donate to help the Chinese people fight the epidemic, please send an e-mail to:
info@flanders-china.be Thank you!

The FCCC will make an overview of the members which have contributed to fight the Covid-19. This will also be shown on our FCCC website and in our weekly newsletter. Would it therefore be possible to send us the information that you wish you to be published.
