The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to our Shanghai Celebration Dinner on 24th September 2024.
The Shanghai Celebration Dinner is an opportunity to celebrate the close partnership between European-China business relations in Shanghai, while connecting with government officials from Shanghai and the neighbouring provinces, members of the European business and diplomatic community and promoting your brand.
Shanghai, being one of the most international cities in China, is home to over 610 member companies of the European Chamber. In 2024, with Shanghai making efforts to optimise business environment and advance market opening, the European community remains deeply engaged in the city’s policy and economic development. Entering the fourth quarter of the year, it is high time to celebrate the achievements made over the past year between European companies, the EU and Chinese stakeholders and look into the future for collaborations to come in 2025.
At the previous dinners, we brought together more than 70 local government officials and a total of 300 participants. We were thrilled to welcome leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Government and various government department leaders, as well as the EU Ambassador to China and EU Consuls General over a business dinner in a unique atmosphere.
This year again, the European Chamber Shanghai is honoured to invite the Head of Delegation of the European Union to the People's Republic of China as guest of honour.
Tickets for the dinner are now on sale. Members can buy individual tickets or tables. Sponsorship opportunities are also available.

The hazardous chemicals industry in China has faced increasing regulatory scrutiny in recent years, with the introduction of traceability code policies across different provinces and municipalities. Starting with Guangdong Province in 2021, these policies have introduced QR codes to enhance safety, traceability, and oversight of hazardous chemicals. However, the lack of a unified national approach has led to significant challenges for companies. With each region enforcing its own version of the QR code requirements, compliance has become inconsistent and costly for businesses operating across multiple regions. Moreover, the lack of national endorsement for a single, standardised approach has made companies hesitant to invest in necessary system modifications, such as changes to SAP systems, which are resource and time-intensive.
