While offering many opportunities, the Chinese market may seem daunting at first to SMEs due to its vast size, language barrier and complex market access regulations. On 21 June, the EU SME Centre is organising, in collaboration with AICEP Portugal Global, a webinar to provide Portuguese SMEs with an overview of the opportunities and challenges of exporting to China and to share best practices on market entry strategies.
This event will feature a presentation on the free services made available to European SMEs, entrepreneurs, and start-ups by the EU SME Centre, an initiative funded by the European Union to assist small businesses on their internationalisation path to China. In the second part of the event, experts will take part in a roundtable discussion on market access, collaboration opportunities, IP protection and strategies to build solid partnerships with business partners in China. The Project Manager at China IP SME Helpdesk is invited to share her expertise at the roundtable discussion session "How Portuguese SMEs Can Export to China”.
This event is free and open to all interested Portuguese SMEs. The webinar will be held in English.
