In 2020, China made the pledge to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Since then, environmental protection and green development have become high priorities for the entire country. Consequently, government procurement as a tool to support green and low-carbon development has recently been ramped up, while other environmental policies have been implemented. European SMEs may wonder what opportunities China’s environmental policies offer.
On 20 December, the EU SME Centre, in collaboration with ICCF and the Belgian-Chinese Economic and Commercial Council (BCECC), is organising a webinar on China’s environmental blueprint & its opportunities for European SMEs, to discuss how China’s environmental policies work and how European SMEs can make them work for their business.
Join this webinar to:
Understand how China’s environmental policies work.
Learn about the opportunities these policies offer to European SMEs wishing to do business in China.
Understand the implications of China’s environmental policies to your business in China.
This free event is open to all SMEs from EU Member States and countries participating in the Single Market Programme. The webinar will be held in English.
