2019 China (Guangdong) - Europe Investment and Innovation Cooperation Conference (CEIICC) is a two-day event jointly hosted by the People's Government of Guangdong Province and the European Chamber. CEIICC 2019 is organised by the Dongguan Municipal People's Government and the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province.
The 3rd Annual China (Guangdong) - Europe Investment and Innovation Cooperation Conference (CEIICC) will bring together top European and Chinese leaders of politics and economics, with an aim to better synchronise the development of “Smart Manufacturing,” and “Comprehensive Economic Cooperation,” against the backdrop of the budding Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Initiative and Made in China 2025 Initiative. The conference will include an opening ceremony, presentations from European and Chinese officials, seminars, B2B match-making events, and company visits.
Following speeches by both representatives of Europe and China, conference attendees will discuss local investment opportunities in Guangdong, especially within the hosting city of Dongguan. Participants will also attend a presentation on the “Foreign Investment Law,” and learn important details about how their companies may be impacted. The provided lunch and dinner will also provide a perfect, friendly and professional atmosphere to facilitate talks between business participants and government officials. After a day of conferences, attendees will have the opportunity to join in-field inspections and company visits will be held at nearby industrial parks.
Due to the participation of high-level political leaders, we reserve the right to make changes to the agenda of the Business Summit. ID is required on the day to be granted admittance.
