From 29 June to 1st July 2021, the Chamber of Commerce organized a three-day China e-Mission Follow-up webinar entitled “Digital Transformation & e-Commerce”. This is the follow-up event of last year’s first digital trade mission to China, from 23 to 26 November 2020, to further explore the business opportunities in the field of the digital transformation and e-commerce between Luxembourg and China.

Day 1 – Opening Webinar & Facilitated Entry into the Chinese Market

Mr. Vincent Hieff, Consul General & Executive Director at Luxembourg Trade and Investment Office in Shanghai kicked off the webinar.

Mr. Joey Huo, Business Development Manager at Jindong Worldwide, informed Luxembourgish companies about the opportunity to test their products on the Chinese market with a lower investment cost. He also announced that the second-largest e-commerce platform in China will organize an online World Fair in October.  Mr. Huo showcased the future potential Luxembourg ‘National Pavilion’ on JD.com. The Chamber of Commerce considers joining the event and opening a Luxembourgish online pavilion where your company could sell its products directly to Chinese customers.

A panel discussion between Maxime Pantaleoni and Na Shi from the Chamber of Commerce and Michel Thein, AsiaLux Import & Export S.A., gave a detailed explanation of how to participate in the Luxembourg pavilion at the digital world fair.
