Despite being a key market for numerous Swiss companies active in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, precision instruments, watches, machinery or electronics, China remains paradoxically little-known. As its borders have remained almost sealed for 3 years, this fact finding mission aims to provide you insights into its today's business ecosystem and the way in which this country has evolved. More specifically, aims to show you the opportunities and challenges faced by the 1’000 Swiss companies established in China.

This fact finding mission will take you through 3 locomotives of the Chinese economy and innovation: Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shenzhen. 

This trip is organized with the support of the Consulate General of Switzerland in Guangzhou, the Service of the Economy of the Canton of Neuchâtel (NECO), the Economy of Trust Foundation, Microcity, Alp ICT, the UIG (Union Industrielle Genevoise), P&TS, China Integrated, Switzerland Global Enterprise and the Swiss-Chinese Association – French Speaking Region, CNBW China Netzwerk Baden-Württemberg.
