Climate change and conservation of biodiversity are currently the most pressing challenges for the whole planet. These areas are also ripe for deepening EU-China cooperation, at both the industry and institutional levels. On the background of a deepening EU-China cooperation, many EU SMEs will find new opportunities in the China market.
The European Chamber has long been advocating for EU-China cooperation on decarbonisation and launched the Carbon Neutrality Action Initiative in May 2022 to facilitate coordinated efforts among the Chamber’s members.
On 5 December, the EU SME Centre and the European Chamber are organise an hybrid workshop to discuss the areas in which EU-China cooperation could potentially deepen as China is accelerating its carbon neutrality drive and the opportunities this would open for European SMEs.
The workshop will start with a debrief of the European Chamber's recently released study report on Carbon Neutrality. The report identifies areas in which EU-China cooperation can be deepened so that China can front-load the technologies it needs to accelerate its carbon neutrality drive. Expert speaker Christoph Schrempp will also discuss opportunities that will arise for European SMEs. In the second part of the event, an Italian SME manufacturing company will share its best practices and challenges encountered in green development and new energy efficient projects. Dolphin Environment and Energy Saving Technology, a local high-tech SME providing services on environment protection and energy saving, will also introduce solutions and successful cases of industrial plants' efforts to achieve energy efficiency.
Join this workshop to:
- Get an overview of China’s carbon neutrality plans and potential areas of EU-China cooperation.
- Understand the China’s carbon neutrality drive and what opportunities this provides to European SMEs.
- Understand the opportunities and challenges in green development and energy efficiency.
- Learn from the experience and best practices of other SMEs in providing services and solutions in China to achieve energy efficiency.
The workshop will be held in English. This free event is open to all interested EU SMEs and SMEs from countries participating in the Single Market Programme.
