MATCHMAKING MISSION
In conjunction with the European Cleantech Internationalization Initiative (EC2I), members of TWEED are cordially invited to take part in a matchmaking mission to Shanghai in China, on 15-18 April 2019.
B2B Meetings: what can you expect ?
The objective is to match Belgian and other European companies with Chinese partners to export European cleantech technology to the Chinese market.
The EC2i matchmaking mission is a great opportunity for European cleantech SMEs to take part in tailor-made B2B meetings with Chinese companies and networking events. Based on your needs and preferences, we will facilitate tailor-mademeetings with relevant partners and Chinese investors. You will also be part of a European EC2i initiative, which includes networking with other European technology providersand a clear follow-up process.
CHINESE CLEANTECH MARKET
China is one of the world’s largest market for cleantech. Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, China has experienced environmental degradation. In response, the Chinese government has implemented policies to accelerate the deployment of environmental technologies in fields ranging from water treatment, clean energy, and air pollution to soil remediation. Because of this policy push, the Chinese cleantech market will reach EUR2.28 trillion by 2020.
Strategic Partners: who do we work with?
UMore:
The EC2i partners worked towards securing strong partnerships with Chinese stakeholders. To this end, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed with UMore.
The areas of collaboration between the two organizations are the following:

Visa
What would be the best time for me to apply for a visa before my planned departure for China?
It is advisable that you apply for a visa one month before your intended date of entry into China but not earlier than three months. The Chinese visa is typically valid for three months. If you apply for a visa too early, the visa may expire before your departure. For instance, if you plan to enter China on July 1, the best time to submit your application would be around June 1 (counting working days only).
Please note that the validity of some visas is equal to or shorter than one month. In that case, you may apply for the visa around two weeks before your intended date of entry into China.
