Closing off 2020, the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China will celebrate its 20th birthday. Founded in 2000, the initial goal of the European Chamber was to establish a common voice for the various business sectors of the European Union and European businesses operating in China. This is still our raison d’être today.

For the past 20 years, the European Chamber has been a guide for European businesses to develop their presence in China, while also providing both Chinese and European authorities with constructive policy recommendations. We will continue to be your indefatigable advocate now and well into the future.

In recognition of the many accomplishments and successes over the past two decades, the European Chamber will host a celebration event in Shenzhen on 25 November.

The first half will be a conference discussing the challenges and opportunities for European companies operating here, as China’s new digital infrastructure initiative meets a de-globalised world.

A ceremony and buffet dinner will be held following the conference for you to enjoy with members of both European and South China business community.

Over 100 high-profile attendees will join this event, with VIP guests including EU Chamber President Joerg Wuttke, Chinese VIPs, as well as European Consulates and Representative Offices in South China. We eagerly anticipate your active participation!

As the regulatory landscape evolves and new challenges arise for companies, general counsels and compliance departments have become increasingly important, helping organisations to adapt. As such, there is significant pressure on compliance professionals to ensure that companies meet their obligations.
The skillset of General Counsels and Compliance officers has had to increase in tandem with the volume and complexity of regulations. Where once compliance officers operated like lawyers, now they also need to be techies with a deep understanding of the technology estate. It is a multi-dimensional challenge.

One thing that is certain about the current business environment, it is that absolutely nothing is certain at all. The world has experienced life-changing disruptions as result of COVID-19 in everything from technology to mobility, to the recent changes in political and economic climates, which have created an air of instability and uncertainty that is felt by consumers and business alike, leading to a number of strategic and operation changes, such as remote working, new procedures, internal reorganization, cost cutting and portfolio adjustments. Volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity are the new status quo. In order to forge ahead, businesses need their people on board, engaged, and confident in the future of their companies.
The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is pleased to invite you to the 2020 edition of the HR Excellence Conference, which will take place on Thursday 3rd September at 9:00am, in Shanghai.
