Dutch China desk 2018 Seminar 31st of May

We are proud to invite you to our first Dutch China desk Seminar 

Cross country businesses between China and the Netherlands are becoming common. However, there are different legal frameworks and vastly different business cultures between the two nations. Would you like to understand what the challenges are of doing business in China? How you can overcome the cultural differences? And how the Dutch government can support your business in the Netherlands or in China? If so, this seminar is interesting for you. We have invited China experts to discuss a variety of topics on how to build a better bridge between the Netherlands and China.

Become inspired by Wilbert Hartmann, CEO of Keytec, who's organisation has grown into a successful multinational. Wilfred Chiu, Tax Partner at Grant Thornton in China, Beijing. Wilfred has extensive inbound and outbound investment experience regarding the Chinese market. This has significantly benefited clients making investments in the Greater China region. Martin de Graaf, representative of the Dutch Ministry of Finance and the Dutch Tax Authorities, will highlight the other side, the steps to take for Chinese organisations who are seeking to relocate to the Netherlands.
