China’s consumption of food and beverages (F&B) is growing and its citizens are becoming more sophisticated in their tastes. Although this trend can be observed in many other industries, F&B is one of the few sectors where foreign products hold such a strong competitive advantage: they cannot be copied and demand for them is increasing.

The EU SME Centre in cooperation with the European Chamber of Commerce in China are putting together this half-day conference during which our guest speakers will share their insights on the market as well as the criteria they are looking for when meeting European F&B exporters.
