A roundtable discussion on investment with a focus on China will be held at the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry on Tuesday at 9 a.m.

The Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry is a partner of “Understanding China”, a new European programme led by Eurochambres, designed to increase the understanding of China for European businesses, especially small and medium ones.

Part of the programme focuses on policy dialogue and comprises a series of high-level conferences and SME round-tables which will allow an active exchange of knowledge, experience and best practices between small firms, business intermediaries, academia, think tanks and EU policy-makers.

Speakers include Biao Wang, owner of Camellia Universal Limited, the China business and investment advisors. The firm is a leading international business platform between the West and China consulting with European and American companies on doing business with China, including expanding their business into the country.

A British-Chinese and UK MBA graduate in international business studies, Mr Wang was educated and worked in the commercial world in China before moving to Britain. As an experienced keynote speaker, Mr Wang has addressed a wide range of China-related business and culture topics.

Colin Tabone, former managing director of WET Automotive, has extensive experience in establishing and running a business in China and will provide a unique insight into the challenges in investing in China.

Gaetano Sammut, senior trade and supply chain manager at HSBC Malta, will take his starting point in an extensive report recently published by the bank, examining the challenges and opportunities connected with doing business in China.

Discussions at the roundtable will be led by journalist Vanessa Macdonald. Interested businesses and individuals are to register with the Chamber’s Klaus Pedersen at klaus.pedersen@maltachamber.org.mt. More information is available at www.understandingchina.eu.
