EU SME Centre Workshop Topic: How to Use WeChat to Do Cross-Border Business in China
Doing cross-border business via China’s free trade zones has become more attractive in the past few years for foreign companies looking to sell to the Chinese market. In many aspects, they find the process simpler, efficient and cost-saving, for small and medium-sized (SMEs) in particular. This seminar will discuss the advantages of doing cross-border business with WeChat, what businesses are suitable for this model, touch upon the core aspects of the implementation and share a number of successful case studies.
This seminar will take a business operation perspective to discuss the trade model derived from WeChat and China’s free trade zone policies.
If you are a business owner involved in importing, exporting and trade, or professional considering to help your company to explore this model, do not miss this opportunity to get practical advice and business insights.
