Event details
How will the Chinese business environment evolve over the coming five years and what will this mean for your business?
European SMEs in China remain confident with long-term growth prospects in the face of China’s economic transition. Still, as labour costs continue to rise unabated and markets become ever more saturated, they are beginning to see their profit margins shrinking.
Especially on the B2B side, many businesses will be impacted by the Chinese economic downturn in the short-term. Consumer-focused SMEs on the other hand, can be excited by the prospect of Chinese domestic consumption growing to make up a larger share of the economy. B2B-oriented SMEs in turn, can look forward to playing an important role as China seeks to upgrades its industrial processes and take its innovation to the next level.
Join us at the 2016 SME Conference to learn about the challenges for European SMEs, and discuss approaches to navigating said landscape with likeminded SME executives, entrepreneurs and experts.
