This webinar series will help you make the right initial decisions when it comes to structuring your business in China. \nSession I: Where should I set up in China: Hong Kong\, Mainland or both?\nNovember 1st\, 2018| 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM HKT \nRegister \nOne of the first questions you’re likely to face is: where in China should I establish my business? Given the ease and advantages of registering a company in Hong Kong\, investors often consider setting up there in addition to\, or instead of\, the mainland. But what are the benefits and drawbacks of this type of setup? And which location is better suited to your specific business activities? \nSPEAKER\n\n\nAs Business Development Manager at Fiducia Management Consultants\, Florian Braunsteiner has helped hundreds of European\, Australian\, and American companies make the right decision when it comes to the location and structure of their China business setup. He looks forward to making your decision process easier by walking you through key considerations and recommendations. \nAGENDA \n\nComparing the company registration process in Hong Kong and China\nStrategic advantages/disadvantages of including a Hong Kong Limited in your setup\nCase studies by sector: manufacturing\, trading/purchasing office\, retail and distribution\nQ&A\n\n  \n  \nSession II: Should I Establish a WFOE or a Rep Office?\nNovember 8th\, 2018| 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM HKT \nRegister \nAnother dilemma you’re likely to face is what type of legal entity to establish in China. Because of China’s complex regulations regarding foreign-invested corporate structures\, this decision is often harder than expected. This webinar will help you clarify whether a wholly foreign owned enterprise (China WFOE) or a representative office (RO) is best suited to the strategy and activities you have in mind. \nSPEAKER \n\nBased in Shanghai\, Laura is Client Services Manager in Fiducia’s Corporate Service team in China. She has helped hundreds of clients design the best approach for their China investment\, advising them on company setups and restructuring. Laura will give you a clear\, in-depth understanding of the regulations\, best practices\, and common pitfalls that are relevant to your business. \nAGENDA \n\nAdvantages and limitations of each structure (WFOE and RO)\nOverview of the requirements and setup process for each structure\nCase studies from different industries\nQ&A URL:https://www.fiducia-china.com/event/webinar-series-choosing-your-china-structure/ LOCATION:201702 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.fiducia-china.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Fiducia-Webinars-November-Thumbnail.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20181009 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20181010 DTSTAMP:20190102T102912Z CREATED:20180614T083941Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190102T102912Z UID:4199-1539043200-1539129599@www.fiducia-china.com SUMMARY:Fiducia China Mittelstandstag DESCRIPTION:China hat versprochen\, seine Türen für die Welt offen zu halten\, doch der internationale Handelskrieg eskaliert immer weiter.

Growth and sustainability have proven\, in most cases\, to be inversely related. And few countries epitomise the “growth versus green” dilemma as well as China\, where three decades of extraordinary growth have caused environmental degradation of epic proportions. As a result\, anti-pollution is now one of the “three key battles” China has pledged to fight over the next three years\, together with financial risk and poverty. Since 2017\, the central government has taken unprecedented action against environmentally non-compliant businesses and government officials\, displaying enough political muscle to prove its point: China’s green push is here to stay. \nJoin us for our upcoming Roundtable “China’s Green Shift: Is Your Business Ready”\, which will shed light on what this green shift means for foreign companies and how they should adapt. Marshall Chen\, China Consulting Manager at Fiducia Management Consultants\, will discuss how businesses who adapt sooner rather than later\, and do so with a systematic and strategic approach\, will be able to ensure compliance\, minimise the cost burden\, and turn sustainability into a source of competitive advantage. \nAgenda\n18:00 Arrival and Registration\n18:20 Welcoming remarks by DUSA BoD Member\n18:30 Presentation “China’s Green Shift: Is Your Business Ready” by Mr. Marshall CHEN\n19:30 Introduction of CAREL Electronic (Suzhou) Co.\, Ltd. by the CEO of the host company\n20:00 Plant Tour\n20:30 Dinner and Networking\n21:30 End of the Session \nRegistration\nTo register\, please send an email to Shirley Zhang at info@dusa-eu.cn with the name\, title\, email address and contact number of the attendee(s).

So gehen mittlerweile 52% der chinesischen Konsumenten wöchentlich mit dem Smartphone auf Einkaufstour.

The majority of German mid-sized companies are already on the ground with a local company\, be it in order to drive sales more efficiently\, be closer to their customers in the most important future sales market\, provide a better after-sales service\, or build up their local production. Today\, China has taken on a leadership role\, especially in fast growing sectors like green tech and e-commerce. A new consumer class\, innovative digital technologies\, and a top infrastructure are leading to more opportunities for foreign companies. At the same time\, increased competition\, higher costs\, and new regulatory changes are creating significant challenges. How must German companies position themselves in this “China 2.0”? \nThrough personal\, on-the-ground experience\, as well as case studies from companies already established in the region\, Fiducia Managing Director Stefan Kracht will speak about current developments in Greater China and give valuable tips on how to succeed as a foreign company. \nAgenda \n13:00 Uhr| Empfang\nNetworking bei Flying-Fingerfood \n13:45 Uhr| Begrüßung und Einleitung\nMag.

The event will try to assess the current situation through discussions about measures to be taken on the corporate and institutional level. The aim is to provide at least some food for thought for a more strategic approach to business in China. Fiducia Business Development Manager Florian Braunsteiner will lead the workshop “China 2.0: Assessing Your China Business”\, where he will present an overview of the current situation in China today\, as well as key steps Austrian companies can take in order to ensure their success. \nExpected to participate in this high-level event are around 250 Austrian CEOs\, managing directors\, and local representatives of Austrian companies. \nMore information about the event can be found here.

If further growth persists\, the Chinese medical device market will move to second place behind the US in the coming years. In addition\, the Chinese government is committed to fostering a strong domestic medical technology industry\, which will further increase the demand for imports of high-quality\, technology-intensive components and production equipment. \nTherefore\, the VDMA Medical Technology Association has organised a business trip to the Beijing / Tianjin region of China from March 18-22\, 2018\, a project funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). Through presentations and business meetings with potential Chinese partners\, German companies that offer production technology and med-tech components will be supported in their market entry to China. \nFiducia Director Thaddaeus Mueller\, and Consultant Christian Brauchle will give an overview of the Chinese healthcare market on March 19th.
