A "inspiring" Event by WKO Export Organization
AWO Forum: Power of China’s Economy.....

The topics on the agenda as well as the speakers have been worth to be seen and their key statements owned attention.

Dr. Andesner, Consul for commercial Affairs in Beijing, presented some helpful economic background information and Dr. Zanger, Lawyer, talked about an interesting approach to support Chinese investors on their “way to Europe”.

The speech given by Dr. H. Cordt, President of the Supervisory Board of RHI, discussed the risks and challenges investors can face in China sometimes due to often changes in legal rules and regulations and he recommended investors to be prepared for a demand of flexibility.
Another highlight of the event was a keynote by Dr. Hemut SOHMEN focusing on the future between USA, EUROPE and CHINA.
The closing speech by the President of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, Dr. C. Leitl was motivating as ever in his speeches motivating enterprises for going forward for exports.
