Sweden-China Trade Council, Invest Stockholm and the EU SME Centre are delighted to invite you to a free-of-charge half-day seminar on how to set up an E-commerce cross-border shop in China on June 26 in Stockholm.
Selling directly to Chinese consumers is very high on the wish list of EU SMEs. This has been hindered by the harsh reality of finding a competent importer or distributor, or the high costs of setting up a subsidiary in China.
Certain alternatives such as listing the products in well-known Chinese e-commerce platforms reveal as too expensive or cumbersome for the small and medium European enterprises.
EU SMEs need to know how to reach directly consumers in China. This training satisfies the need. After attending, participants know in detail how to set up its own cross-border shop in WeChat, its cost, the return on investment, and how to operate such cross-border own shop.
Pär Uhlin, Managing Partner, Six Year Plan will introduce this half-day seminar in Stockholm where you will be guided by Rafael Jimenez, Business Development Advisor, EU SME Centre, Beijing and Felim Meade, Emerald Green Consulting, Ireland through the following topics:
Background
The Supply Chain
The Building Blocks
The Procedure
The Pros and Cons of a CBEC Shop in WeChat for EU SMEs
Real Case in Action
WeChat Shop Solution
We will end the day with networking including drinks and finger food.
