In the coming years China will focus strongly on the economic development of the Western part of the country. The megacities Chongqing and Chengdu will play a prominent role, it is the strategy of the central authorities to have them cooperate and to later merge into a city cluster on the scale of the other three big economic pillars: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei in the North,  the Yangtze River Delta in the East and the Greater Bay Area in the South.

Flanders Investment & Trade, POM Antwerpen and the Province of Flemish-Brabant take you to this exciting region and introduce potential business partners.

What? FIT gladly guides Flemish exporters to the opportunities arising from this development and is therefore organizing an online mission to Chongqing and Chengdu from 7 till 11 June 2021. The virtual trip will be an introduction to the region and a possible “physical” trip in 2022 for which you can already establish the first contacts.

For whom? The trip is open to all sectors but spearhead sectors are traditional equipment manufacturing, electronics and IT, energy and automotive. In the future there will be an increased focus on IoT, new materials, robotics and biotech. In cooperation with POM Antwerpen and the Province of Flemish-Brabant, which have an active cooperation with Chongqing and Chengdu respectively, FIT is also organizing a programme in the Life Sciences and Cleantech sectors.
