As small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) continue to play a vital role in driving innovation and growth across China and the EU, access to effective and appropriate financing tools remains one of their most pressing challenges.
In the current economic environment of heightened competition, pricing pressures, and overall cost concerns, maintaining healthy cashflow has become an increasing challenge for SMEs, including foreign ones. Access to effective financing is therefore a critical factor for business resilience and competitiveness, particularly in today’s fast-evolving policy and market landscape.
Organised during the China International Import Expo (CIIE), this session will take a practical look at the financing realities for SMEs in China. Speakers will share insights on available financing policies, schemes, and incentives, and explore how to integrate financial strategies with talent retention and technology adoption. Real-world examples and case studies will illustrate approaches that address both immediate financing needs and long-term business sustainability.
Participants will also have the opportunity to engage directly with speakers during the Q&A segment, allowing them to raise their own challenges and explore practical solutions relevant to their business.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China (European Chamber) is pleased to invite you to the launch of the Shanghai Position Paper 2025/2026, taking place on Wednesday, 12th November 2025.
As we are entering the 15th Five Year Plan, which is likely to pursue technological self-reliance in strategic sectors and maintain the country’s leadership in global manufacturing, we encourage the Shanghai government to actively include European companies in the implementation process. In particular, the Shanghai Chapter sets five recommendations:
- Implement city-wide, consistent rules for foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs) addressing structural barriers.
- Increase Shanghai’s international attractiveness to foreign nationals and businesses.
- Support small and medium-sized enterprises’ growth.
- Enhance Shanghai’s competitiveness by enabling European companies to fully participate in the green transition.
- Strengthen Shanghai’s supply chain resilience and leverage Shanghai’s coordination role for trade issues, including export controls.
Implementing these recommendations would help sending a positive signal to foreign investors in China’s most international city.
