The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce and Flanders Investment & Trade are organizing an information session focused on the European immigration landscape and on managing international assignments. This event will take place at 12h00 on Tuesday 26 November 2019 at Flanders Investment & Trade, Avenue Roi Albert 37, 1000 Brussels.

Mr Alexis Pirotte, Senior Manager, Deloitte, will provide an update on the European immigration landscape and will take a deep-dive into the Single permit process, which has entered into force beginning of this year. He will provide the audience with practicalities to better manage the process especially in view of the long processing times and regional differences.

Mrs Pauline Six, Career Coach & Managing Partner, Bright Expats, will share her expertise on managing international assignments. While global mobility is common practice in companies, being aware of the challenges experienced by expatriates and having solutions ready allows everyone to work more efficiently. A new professional assignment can have a huge impact on one’s personal and family life. What is happening at home influences performance at work – she’ll share solutions proven to help solve some of the key challenges.

The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce and The Conference Board are organizing the annual China Briefing, which will take place on 28th of November 2019 from 15:30 at Fosbury & Sons, Chaussee de la Hulpe 185, 1170 Brussels.

We would be delighted if you would attend this year’s event:

How Global is the Global economy?
&
The US-China Trade War – Implications, Impacts and Opportunities for Europe”.

During the Briefing, a select group of senior executives will discuss:

• The current state of the global economy: How risky are the risks?
• The status of the U.S.-China “trade war”: How is it impacting trade and investment for Eurozone economies?
• The probable medium-term outcome of the U.S.-China conflict: What changes in the business environment are foreseeable?
• How are global value chains changing in response to trade conflicts, geo-politics and market considerations: What will “globalization” mean looking forward?
• What strategic responses are required from European companies and policy makers?

The meeting will include short presentations of our latest research and thinking by Dr. Bart van Ark, Executive Vice President and Chief Economist and Leo Austin, Senior Advisor to our China Center for Economics & Business.

Bart van Ark is Executive Vice President, Chief Economist, and Chief Strategy Officer at The Conference Board. He leads a team of almost two dozen economists in New York, Brussels, and Beijing who produce a range of widely watched economic indicators and growth forecasts as well as in-depth global economic research. A Dutch national, he is the first non-U.S. Chief Economist in the history of The Conference Board. Van Ark also holds the University of Groningen’s Chair in economic development, technological change, and growth.

Leo Austin has lived and worked in China for twenty-two years. He is one of few foreigners to have led a large Chinese-owned corporation. He has separately completed twelve major investment and restructuring transactions and served on the board of two U.S.-listed Chinese corporations. He is a Trustee of the Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation, having worked as Assistant to the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Leo has a BA and MA in Modern History and Economics from Brasenose College, Oxford University. He speaks, reads and writes Mandarin Chinese. He has traveled to over half the counties in China.
