Description
To fully reap the benefits fairs have to offer, companies must be aware of the risks associated with exhibiting, such as an inadequate preparation for the event and poor follow up, an incomplete plan for IPR protection, or even the wrong selection of the exhibition to attend. Considering the costs associated with participating in trade fairs in China, it is crucial that SMEs become aware of these risks and respond accordingly through the implementation of dedicated strategies.
The workshop developed jointly by the EU SME Centre and the China IP SME Helpdesk has the objective of giving SMEs practical advise on what to keep in mind when attending trade fairs in China in the post-Covid era while sharing best practices.
