EU Chamber Business Ideas and Solutions Fair, Shanghai
Great news for small or medium-size business owners: the EU Chamber in Shanghai created a fair where exhibitors and visitors actually have time to speak to each other. The idea: business owners bring their ideas and challenges, while service providers bring their expertise. The fair is a forum to talk in detail.
We will be there at the Grand Mercure Hongqiao (369 Xian Xia Road) between 2 and 6pm, and do what we always do. Come along if you need new ideas or solutions related to:
- Creating a business strategy
- Strategy deployment
- Leadership skills or methods
- Communication skills and practices
- Corporate social responsibility
Door charge is RMB 100, free for Chamber members.
