China is one of the largest economies in the world and the second-largest importer. It is also one of the biggest countries with an enormous consumer market: the number of people in China’s middle class is increasing yearly. It is Flanders’ 10th export destination and the third outside Europe.

China’s economic development involves technical-scientific progress and innovations. At the same time, China faces big challenges in the fields of environment, energy, transport, health and foodstuffs.

Discover this exiting market during an economic mission from 16 to 22 November 2019, headed by HRH Princess Astrid.

On the program:
• Beijing: the political center of China and Shanghai, China’s commercial heart.
• As an option, Flanders Investment & Trade is offering a third destination: a program in Guangzhou or Hong Kong.
