Forum Background

The comprehensive strategic partnership between the European Union (EU) and China turns 20 this year. Over the past two decades the EU and China, two of the world’s leading economies, have engaged in mutually beneficial cooperation in a win-win manner and achieved significant success in fields such as politics, economy, culture, and science. As of the end of 2022, EU-China bilateral trade volume reached $847.3 billion, with each side the second-largest trading partner of the other. The stock of two-way investment between China and the EU has exceeded $230 billion, benefiting people on both sides and contributing greatly to world peace and economic prosperity.

Looking ahead, the two sides hold great potential for cooperation and share common interests in promoting economic growth and financial stability, coping with the energy crisis, curbing inflation, and pursuing green and digital transitions. As such, they have decided to set up a financial working group under the China-EU High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue (HED) mechanism to strengthen cooperation in financial areas such as financial liberalisation, infrastructure, and regulation, as well as sustainable finance and fintech. However, some tension does exist within the relationship – EU authorities have recently opened an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric car imports, for example.

The theme of this conference will be the review of the 2020 marketing strategies and the outlook to the 2021 marketing trends. We expect all participants to share the marketing activities your company has done in 2020 and the plan for the 2021, also pointing out the issues, problems encountered.

During the meeting, all participants will discuss and see what resources can be shared or are worth exploring. In this meeting, we may not be able to solve all the problems, but we will record them and wait until we can have a plan later, as the topics for future discussion. We will continue to follow up on these topics and issues in upcoming working group meetings.

The Agriculture, Food and Beverage Working Group and the Marketing and Communications Forum are delighted to invite you to attend a discussion on food fraud and organisation resilience in the food sector, which will take place on Tuesday, 9th April 2019, from 09:00 to 11:40.

Food fraud includes adulteration (specifically dilution, substitution, concealment, unapproved enhancements), mislabeling, gray market (including diversion, parallel trade, etc.), smuggling, theft, and counterfeiting. There is an emphasis on public health dangers or vulnerabilities. Each type of incident could lead to a public health threat, and thus how best to control food fraud is becoming more important globally.

Organisation resilience in the food sector attempts to address all aspects – Products, Process, People, Operational Resilience, Information Security Resilience, Supply Chain Resilience, and all the associated pain points which are embedded in the 16 key elements of The BSI Organizational Resilience Index.

This presentation is an attempt to solve the mystery of marketing measurement, as the start. Without this, there is no way to separate good marketing from bad, no way to demand resources for marketing with confidence, and no way for marketing people to walk in office as dragons-slaughtering knight.
