On 28 June 2023, EU SME Centre Team Lead Liam Jia delivered a keynote speech at the 18th China International SME Fair (CISMEF) and 2nd SME International Cooperation Summit (SMEICS). The topic of the keynote speech was “How Innovation and Specialisation Empower European SME Industrial Clusters in China”.
“In the EU and elsewhere, SMEs are a significant source of innovation and human creativity; they contribute to cultural diversity and quality of life. When EU SMEs go abroad, they also support prosperity and innovation in their host countries. They play a role in the diffusion of culture and people-to-people contacts”, said Liam Jia.
