Since 2013, China has been the world’s largest market for industrial robots, maintaining sustainable and stable growth over the years. The market is creating enormous business opportunities, attracting global industrial robot enterprises scrambling to enter the Chinese market.

The European industrial robot industry has its unique advantages in providing state-of-the-art products and solutions for high-end industrial applications: in most cases, these needs cannot be fully satisfied by Chinese local suppliers. However, entering the Chinese market is a time-consuming process which requires a significant amount of resources and time; many European companies, especially SMEs, are not fully aware how to begin.

The EU SME Centre and the China Italy Chamber of Commerce are happy to invite you for this webinar on 7 December 2021 which will be a launch event of the new report on the Opportunities and Challenges for European SMEs in China’s Industrial Robots Sector (download it here).
