Ennis Chamber - In business for Business

Eurochambres are currently recruiting for the last cycle of the Understanding China Training Programme for Chamber Executives. The programme includes 4 training modules, taking the trainees to Antwerp, Shanghai and Beijing. Aside from a very comprehensive training package (legal, cultural, economic aspects of doing business), each participant is coached to develop a China business plan for his/her Chamber. The programme is co-financed by the EU; financial contribution by participants is therefore limited.
