The EU SME Centre and the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China are pleased to invite European SMEs to a comprehensive exploration into China’s research and development landscape.

Join us online on 30 November 2023 to understand China’s current incentives for promoting innovation and what impacts these incentives can have for European businesses. During this webinar, experts will share advice for SMEs looking to establish an R&D centre in China.

The event will also look into the findings of the recent report China’s Innovation Ecosystem: The Localisation Dilemma. Based on member surveys and in-depth interviews, the report outlines the wide spectrum of strategies enterprises are deploying to mitigate risks and maximise their competitiveness.
