The EU SME Centre signs an MoU with Andalucia Lab

29 May 2023

On 23 May 2023, the representatives of the EU SME Centre and Andalucía Lab signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), thus formally committing to working together and creating synergies. This new partnership agreement signed with a Spain-based business support organisation will enhance the outreach capacity and value-added activities provided to European SMEs looking to do business in China.

The EU SME Centre is devoted to sharing its knowledge on China-related matters to build the capacity of Spanish companies interested in entering the Chinese market. In this context, the two parties have already agreed to organise a joint event for the month of November. Stay updated on our upcoming activities on our website, newsletter, and social media to take part in our events.

The Centre is looking forward to the future cooperation with Andalucía Lab and we welcome the opportunity to further support Spanish SMEs’ interests and contribute to the common goal of supporting their growth.

Business support organisations and trade promotion organisations from Member States of the European Union and Single Market Programme-participating countries with member companies interested in the Chinese market are welcome to contact our Partnership Coordinator to obtain further information about partnerships and collaborations. The EU SME Centre offers a wide range of free services to partners and affiliated SMEs to improve their readiness to the market in China. Find out more about becoming a partner of the Centre here.
