With the Consumer Webinar Series, the EU SME Centre and European Union Chamber of Commerce in China invite you to explore consumption in China by analysing the spending habits of each generation. For the third event of the series, we will focus on China’s Millennials, or 80后, the generation born in the 1980s and early 1990s.

The session will present their main spending categories, their online and offline purchasing platforms of choice, and how to reach them on social media and other channels.

The webinar will be in English. It is open, free of charge, to all stakeholders of the EU SME Centre, including SMEs, business support and trade promotion organisations from EU Member States and countries participating in the Single Market Programme.

Beyond client engagements, Ms. Liu has led pioneering research into emerging societal and economic themes, including cross-generational consumption dynamics, the motivations of China’s charitable donor population, the silver economy, the digital lives of older consumers, and women-centred consumption and social issues—producing thought leadership of meaningful industry impact.
