The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce (FCCC), VOKA and Flanders Investment and Trade (FIT) organized an event on the occasion of Week International Entrepreneurship: China, on 5 December 2018 at VOKA in Antwerp. In 2017 Flanders exported more than €7.3 billion to China, whereby the country climbed to the 9th spot on the list of the Flemish export. The family income of Chinese consumers keeps growing, leading to a higher living standard and rising demand for services in tourism, education, medical care and leisure spending.

Jill Suetens, Manager International, VOKA – KVK Antwerp-Waasland and Gwenn Sonck, Executive Director, Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce / EU-China Business Association, welcomed the participants. Flemish trade with China and actions by FIT was introduced by Michèle Surinx, Area Manager East-Asia, Flanders Investment and Trade. Filip DeLanghe, Urbanization Architect – Director AWG Architecten, gave a testimony on doing business in China. Sven Agten, Managing Partner, Agio Capital & Business Solutions China, talked about opportunities in new China. A networking reception concluded the event.
