Dear guests,

In recent years, central and eastern European countries such as Hungary, Poland, and Serbia have evolved into prime destinations for Chinese enterprises in the region, particularly in sectors like new energy and batteries, igniting a wave of green economic transformation. In a bid to navigate these evolving dynamics, China Chamber of Commerce to the EU (CCCEU), in collaboration with Baker & McKenzie LLP, is organising a pivotal online seminar on April 30th titled "Advancing China-Central and Eastern Europe Economic and Investment Relations."

Distinguished speakers, including Minister Peng Gang of the Chinese Mission to the EU, Dr. Anita Gyürkés, head of the Hungarian State Aid Monitoring Office, Mr. Wang Ruigang, Counsellor of the Chinese Embassy in Moldova, will offer insights into the latest investment and trade ties. Baker & McKenzie's managing partner Dr. Ákos Fehérváry, partner Dr. Benedek Kovács and other expert lawyers will provide crucial perspectives on compliance guidelines, risk mitigation strategies for greenfield investments and M&A, the state aid programs, the tax and employment management, and the evolving landscape of EU competition law and data protection regulations.

This seminar, a nexus of ideas and networking, offers an indispensable platform for stakeholders to grasp the nuances of this transformative economic landscape. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with industry leaders and chart the course for future collaboration. Join us and register now!
