The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to our Shanghai Celebration Dinner on 24^th September 2024.

The Shanghai Celebration Dinner is an opportunity to celebrate the close partnership between the European Union (EU) and the city of Shanghai, while connecting with government officials from Shanghai and the neighbouring provinces, members of the European business and diplomatic community and promoting your brand.

Shanghai, being one of the most international cities in China, is home to over 610 member companies of the European Chamber. In 2024, with Shanghai making efforts to optimise business environment and advance market opening, the European community remains deeply engaged in the city’s policy and economic development. Entering the fourth quarter of the year, it is high time to celebrate the achievements made over the past year between European companies, the EU and Chinese stakeholders and look into the future for collaborations to come in 2025.

At the previous dinners, we brought together more than 70 local government officials and a total of 300 participants. We were thrilled to welcome leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Government and various government department leaders, including the Shanghai Municipal Commerce Commission, Shanghai DRC, Shanghai Customs as well as the EU Ambassador to China and EU Consuls General over a business dinner in a unique atmosphere.

This year again, the European Chamber Shanghai is honoured to invite the Head of Delegation of the European Union to the People's Republic of China and Mongolia as guest of honour.

Tickets for the dinner are now on sale. Members can buy individual tickets or tables. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.
