关于2026年中小企业商务代表团行程的公告

欧盟中小企业中心谨此告知各相关方,原定于2026年4月赴华的中小企业商务代表团行程,包括参加中国国际消费品博览会(海南消博会)的相关安排,将不会按原计划进行。 在对收到的申请进行仔细审查并与有意参展的企业进行后续会谈后,我们注意到在现阶段,能够达到在中国贸易展览会上参展所需市场水平的报名企业数量很少。对多数申请企业而言,包括在华商标注册及相关产品注册在内的关键步骤仍未完成或在进行中。展会开始前,完成上述关键步骤所需的时间,将直接影响展品运输及后续清关等环节的顺利开展。 因此,我们现决定,原计划于2026年4月举办的商务代表团行程,将被取消。 作为一项由欧盟出资成立的项目,欧盟中小企业中心致力于支持欧洲中小企业做好充分准备,进军中国市场。我们将继续这一使命,为企业提供一线服务,通过分享实践案例、解读法规合规要求及市场准入策略等方面的指导,帮助欧洲中小企业为进入中国市场做好准备。 我们感谢所有申请企业及相关支持与合作方对欧盟中小企业中心各项活动的关注与参与。关于下一次中小企业商务代表团行程的进一步信息将在今年晚些时候时候公布,我们诚邀有意向的企业持续关注,以把握未来的参与机会。
