Description

China is a fast-growing economy, and is in the global spotlight.

The automotive industry is one of the sectors where the unique development of the Chinese economy and its impact on the world come together. With this exclusive excursion, we offer you an opportunity to network, make valuable contacts for the future and get to know Chinese culture.

By combining interesting company visits with an insight into Chinese culture, you can learn a lot about the Chinese economy, doing business in China and the automotive industry in particular in a short time.

As a participant, you will have the opportunity to engage in discussions with representatives of Chinese organisations. You will also have the opportunity to learn about Chinese culture during the excursion. You will visit four cities: Beijing, Xi'an, Guilin, Suzhou and Shanghai. The organiser and contact person for the trip will also act as guide and translator during the trip. She has excellent knowledge of the language, culture and is well informed about various technological and scientific trends in relation to Chinese economic developments.

You are welcome to participate in this excursion. The number of places available for the study tour is limited. Members of Department of Business Administration will have priority if there are more registrations than available places. Registration is possible until 5pm on Sunday 22 May.
