Seminar ‘Export your services to China’

Chinese companies are rapidly developing activities on the European market. They seek access for their innovative products against the background of China’s stabilizing economic growth. The European single market with a large consumer base offers opportunities. Entering the European market, known for its regulatory sophistication, also raises questions.

This is where Brussels’ firms hold a key to success. Being close to the European decision-makers and using the highest international standards, Brussels’ firms have the expertise and experience to successfully assist young and innovative Chinese companies tapping into the European market.

This seminar is a follow-up event of the hub.brussels EU Market Access Economic Mission to China in April 2024. The delegation of Brussels’ firms attracted an audience of a record-breaking number of 200 Chinese companies. Due to the success, hub.brussels will repeat the mission in November 2025.
