Barco is one of the founding members of the Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce and has a longstanding and significant presence in China.
China has developed into one of the world’s leading innovation economies. In 2025, it entered the top 10 of the Global Innovation Index for the first time, surpassing Germany. Understanding China’s rapidly evolving innovation ecosystem, and actively engaging with it is increasingly important for companies seeking to remain innovative and internationally competitive.
During this session, Barco’s senior leadership will provide insights into the company’s activities and experiences in China and discuss how technology, innovation and transformation are shaping its international growth.
