On April 18, the Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce organized a very interesting session with Pascal Coppens, author and entrepreneur, as keynote speaker. He delivered a very insightful presentation on China’s innovation drive. After this, two seasoned entrepreneurs, Mr. Yorick Beun, Senior Director of Paint, Volvo Cars Gent and Mr. James (Jim) Dobson, Senior Vice President of Quality, Technology & Innovation Tire Reinforcement Business Unit, Bekaert shared their experience on innovation in China.
The conference was followed by a networking dinner.
The pace of innovation in China is nothing short of remarkable. As some business leaders have aptly put it: ‘China is a place to hone your competitive edge: if you can succeed there, you can succeed anywhere.’ This underscores the global significance of China's innovation drive.
