Sign up for this interesting trade mission to China
March 22 – 28, 2015: Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou
China is the largest exporter of goods in the world. China is also the world’s fastest growing consumer market and second largest importer of goods. It is the biggest trading partner and second largest source of investment for the Netherlands outside the EU. With the world’s fastest growing consumer market, it provides Dutch companies with lots of opportunities to buy or sell a great variety of products.
The Netherlands Council of Trade Promotion (NCH) has more than 50 years experience of helping Dutch companies to do business in China. Between March 22 28, NCH will organize a trade mission to Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou. During this mission, NCH will provide plenty of opportunities for Dutch entrepreneurs to explore the Chinese market and meet with potential business partners. In addition, we will visit the two largest international ports in China.
The program will moreover help you to better understand the business environment in these cities as well as enable you to establish or expand your business networks. It will include meetings with business leaders and government officials, site visits, and networking receptions.
