The European Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Organization of Economic Development (OECD) and AmCham China invite you to a post G20 debrief on the challenges and opportunities for Chinese and global economic growth within the framework of the 2016 Hangzhou B20 and G20 Summits.
The event will discuss some of the key takeaways and insights from the Hangzhou meetings and how these relate to the current outlook for foreign business operating in China. Speakers will discuss the future drivers of economic growth in China outlined in recent policy papers ‘China Manufacturing 2025’ and ‘China 2030: Building a Modern, Harmonious, and Creative Society’ and the part European and American business has to play in these sectors that many regard as being prioritised for so-called national champions.
