Venue has been changed to Kempinski Hotel Beijing. This event is Fully Booked.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to the launch of the European Business in China – Beijing Position Paper 2015/2016 (Beijing Position Paper). This is the first time that the Beijing Position Paper is brought out as a standalone publication. It compiles the latest assessments and concerns of European businesses operating in Beijing with the aim to offer constructive recommendations to the city’s policy makers.

Beijing’s stipulated goals are to be or become a centre of government, culture, international exchanges and technology – its four ‘core functions’. Yet Beijing is even more than this: a global city like no other, and one of China’s most important commercial centres. However, several issues are holding Beijing back from fulfilling its potential. The Beijing Position Paper aims to address them.

Critical as some of the Beijing Position Paper’s recommendations may seem, all of them are given in an honest effort to improve operating conditions in Beijing for domestic and foreign companies alike, as well as the general living environment for everyone in the city.

Insights include:

*  An overview of the perceptions of European businesses operating in Beijing.

*  An in-depth analysis of Beijing’s economic, commercial and technological development and potential;

*  Recommendations on how Beijing can further facilitate for foreign investment in the city;

* Analysis of Beijing’s continued urbanisation drive and its increasing integration with the provinces of Tianjin and Hebei.

This is a free event for European Chamber members and Media representatives.
