Compete in China – Win Globally

The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce has the pleasure of inviting you to a webinar on the China 2026 Business Forecast, taking place on 20 January 2026 at 10:00 AM CET.

The China 2026 Business Forecast, prepared by InterChina, provides a forward-looking perspective on how international companies can successfully compete in China while strengthening their global positioning.

The report is based on insights from more than 400 senior executives of multinational companies active in China, combined with InterChina’s hands-on experience from nearly 50 M&A transactions completed in 2025, as well as its broader strategy and advisory work throughout the year.

The central theme of the 2026 edition is “Compete in China – Win Globally”, focusing on:

- China as a market: Traditional China vs. New China

- China as a source of innovation: high-tech at low cost

- China as an exporter of capital and globalization

Most importantly, the report identifies best practices and benchmarks to support international companies in navigating the Chinese business environment in the year ahead.

We are pleased to welcome Jan Borgonjon, Founder of InterChina, who will present the key findings of the report and share first-hand insights drawn from over four decades of experience in China.
