On October 10 and 11, 2014  over 400 experts from the business, political and academic world will come together at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce to discuss the state of the Sino-European economic relations. The sixth “Hamburg Summit: China meets Europe” will discuss broad topics like the roles of China and the EU in the global economy as well as innovative issues like urbanisation and how to "green" the Chinese economy. The sixth “Hamburg Summit: China meets Europe” will be honoured by the presence of Li Keqiang, Prime Minister of the People's Republic of China.

The “Hamburg Summit” has today an international reputation as the most relevant Sino-European economic forum, as the participation of the leading Chinese politicians like Wen Jiabao (2006), Ma Kai (2010) and Wan Gang (2012) exemplifies.

The “Hamburg Summit” was initiated by the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce in 2004 as a platform for an open dialogue between Europe and China with the goal to improve the economic relations and the understanding of each other.

Board Members and a Working Group / Forum Chairs of the European Chamber are invited for free to the “Hamburg Summit: China meets Europe”.
