World Business Webinar- China as a market

World Business Webinar is the free virtual seminar to introduce insights by specified market experts organized by Export Cooperation Sweden Finland project members, aiming at sharing business situation and timely information on a specific country with Finnish and Swedish companies to help market entry and give some tips for company’s internationalization.

In the second webinar we look into China as a market. How difficult is it to make business in one of the world biggest markets? Will we still look into China as the factory of the world, or will they put their focus into building their internal market. What will happen after covid-19, will the disturbances we now see between USA and China effect our possibilities in making business?
