[Workshop] Making the Right Move: Smart Relocation Choices in China and Seizing ASEAN Opportunities

In the ever-evolving global business landscape, companies worldwide are seeking innovative strategies for resilience and sustainability. While China boasts well-established supply chains, cutting-edge infrastructure, and abundant talent, the ASEAN region has become an increasingly attractive alternative or additional market, featuring favorable incentives, deepening supply chains, and significant cost advantages.

International businesses that already have a presence in China are strategically expanding their operations. They are optimizing by sourcing cost-effective inputs from alternative regions, both within and beyond China, with the goal of streamlining current operations, exploring new business opportunities, or scaling up existing ventures.

For a comprehensive understanding of legal, HR, and finance aspects in business relocation within and beyond China, alongside firsthand insights into ASEAN's market potential and effective site selection tools, we invite you to join our hybrid seminar. Our expert team, well-versed in the nuances of China and ASEAN, will provide in-depth insights and guidance.
