After a hugely popular debut in Beijing, The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to bring this fascinating and topical series of seminars to Shanghai. These events will be looking at the most urgent environmental issues facing China and the world in the run-up to the Copenhagen Climate Summit to be held in December. Over the next 3 months we will invite the most insightful speakers in their fields to offer their views on the most pressing issues on the Summit’s agenda. We will also invite representatives of European and Chinese businesses and organizations doing groundbreaking work in the green technology sector to share the latest industry updates with you.
Join us for our first Seminar on “An Outlook on Electric Car development: Will China dominate the market?” on 24th September.
Determined to come out of the economic downturn greener than it went in, the Chinese government has announced plans to set up a 10 billion RMB fund to promote alternative energy, and with the development of the Chinese Electric car, China is fast becoming the leading producer of environment-friendly vehicles.
