SEMINAR: Flemish SMEs' Access to the Chinese market (in Dutch)

Thirty years after the opening of the Chinese market, China has become one of the most important actors in the global economy. 
Most Flemish SMEs do not take into account the problems they may face when entering the Chinese market: high costs, regional and legislative  differences ...

The Seminar will provide an overview of current obstacles you may encounter in China.
It will feature contributions from guest speakers for theoretical explanations and presentations on hands-on experiences from entrepreneurs.
