FCCC takes on new challenges within the EU-China Business Association
Apr-13-2015 By : fcccadmin
We have the pleasure to inform you that with 10 years of success behind us, the FCCC is still growing and ready to take on new challenges. We were asked earlier this year to take a leading role in the EU-China Business Association (EUCBA), the organisation that unites all the Chinese business associations in Europe. The EUCBA promotes economic and trade relations between the EU and China.
This will lead to some exciting changes. With the support of the Government of Flanders, we are increasing our activities at the EU level. Our next big challenge will be the co-organisation of the EU-China Business Summit. This Summit and future similar events will give you and other members better exposure to companies and institutions at an EU level.
As from April 1st 2015, EUCBA will operate from their new office at the premises of Flanders Investment & Trade in Brussels. The FCCC will be responsible for the secretariat-general of the EU-China Business Association and we will be partly working in Brussels and in Ghent.
The FCCC will continue to:
Offer Advice and Expertise: the FCCC provides information about the latest economic and trade developments via publications, weekly newsletters and interviews with member companies offering valuable information on how to enter the Chinese market.
Meet Chinese Delegations: thanks to its extensive network the FCCC plays an important role in welcoming Chinese delegations to our country. We introduce Flemish entrepreneurs to non-traditional investment areas and help facilitate entry in the Chinese market.
Exchange Experiences and Share Knowledge: the FCCC regularly organises conferences and round tables on China so participants can exchange experiences, facilitate, collaboration and create networking opportunities.
Our new contact details are provided below. Members are always welcome to suggest topics for activities (e.g. seminars, lunch meetings, etc.) they would like FCCC to organise.
We look forward to meeting you at one of our next activities and thank you for your support.
