Seminar: Win in China: Doing business with a Changing China – How to tap into the Chinese market for growth – 19 April 2017 – Antwerp
April 3, 2017 Category FCCC/EUCBA activities, Weekly
The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce, the City of Antwerp and the Port of Antwerp are organizing a seminar focused on ‘Win in China: Doing business with a changing China’. This will take place on Wednesday 19 April at 18h30 at the Port of Antwerp, Zaha Hadid Plein 1, 2030 Antwerpen.
In December 2016 the City of Antwerp, The Port of Antwerp and Antwerp World Diamond Centre held another successful mission to China. The bonds between partner cities Antwerp and Shanghai were strengthened, contacts were made, allegiances forged, toasts raised and contracts signed. Given the good relationship between both cities and the growing economic importance of China, the future opportunities are legion. During the mission Mr. Bo Ji already taught us how to better understand the Chinese and enhance our negotiating power. The response to this lecture was very satisfactory therefore we requested Mr. Ji Bo to give us more insights into a changing China.
Mr Bo Ji, Chief Representative for Europe and Assistant Dean of China’s top business school, Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, will deliver the keynote speech. During the event, Professor Ji will share with us his perspective on
“How to win in China”
He will share with us cultural differences between the East and the West. He will then focus on multiple business models across a variety of industries to demonstrate exactly what it takes to establish your brand, grow your consumer base and win in China. We will be tackling the opportunities and issues facing companies as they look to expand their businesses into China and including those who are already operating in China. Focusing on China as the land of opportunity, Professor Ji will also shed light on this diverse and complex market and how business leaders can change the mind set to engage successfully with China going forward.
