The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce is organizing a dinner meeting focusing on “China for Flemish Tech Companies: To avoid or to engage now?”. This event will take place on 23 January 2023, at 17h30 at the Cercle Royal La Concorde, Kouter 150, 9000 Gent.
Due to the diverging Covid policies and changes in the geopolitical landscape, China’s business environment and the related trade & investment conditions have changed rapidly over the last few years. Technology companies from Flanders have to choose whether to avoid the Chinese market or invest in business development in the second-largest market in the world while mitigating the risks. At the same time, Chinese technology companies are eager to grow in the European market and looking for European partners.
During his speech, Mr Peter Tanghe, Technology Counselor for Flanders Investment and Trade in China, will share his experience and insights about the current state and future opportunities for Flemish tech entrepreneurs across different industries in Digital, Climate and Health Technology.
Mr Niek Van Overberghe, Head of Sales, Molecubes Modular Benchtop Imaging, will share the experiences of Molecubes in China.
