In the Chinese market, European SMEs face unique challenges but also substantial opportunities. Entering the market comes with challenges that can be daunting even for seasoned exporters. Notably, identifying the right retail channels, navigating customs regulations, getting IPR right, and building relationships with Chinese partners can prove difficult.
In order to support EU small and medium-sized enterprises interested in doing business in China, the EU SME Centre, in partnership with the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), the China IP SME Helpdesk, and the Italy-China Council Foundation (ICCF), is organising an introductory webinar aimed at shedding light on the Chinese market and its specificities.
