Enterprise Estonia (EAS) and the EU SME Centre invite companies to participate in the China Target Market Seminar “Exporting services to China: opportunities from logistics to blockchain” on November 1.
The seminar, aimed at companies operating in the service sector interested in the Chinese market, but also to other companies interested in the topic, provides an overview of the opportunities offered by the Chinese market in the field of services as well as regulations that should be taken into account in the services sector.
Is it possible in China to export ICT and how can you be sure that your intellectual property is protected? What are the barriers to the export of logistics services? The seminar will provide answers to these and many other questions.
The opportunities of the Chinese market are shared by international experts from the EU SME Center of the European Union and the EAS, and their experience is shared by Estonian exporters who already have experience in the Chinese market.
