FLANDERS-CHINA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (VCKK)
Twenty years ago, a group of leading Flemish investors in China founded the Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce. This dynamic business platform supports economic, scientific, and trade relations with China. The VCKK assists both Flemish companies seeking to do business with China and Chinese companies with investment plans.
The VCKK acts as a business promoter for trade between Flanders and China. Through meetings with high-level Chinese delegations, targeted missions, conferences, workshops, and networking events, we provide business support to Flemish companies exploring opportunities in China and to Chinese companies looking to invest in Flanders. Additionally, the VCKK publishes a Weekly China Business Newsletter to keep business leaders informed about China’s economy and trade. Sharing experience and leveraging our extensive network in China are central to our services.
Furthermore, the VCKK serves as the General Secretariat and Vice President of the EU-China Business Association (EUCBA), promoting relations between the EU and China at the European level. We work closely with the European Commission and the European Chamber of Commerce in China. As the umbrella organization for all China associations in Europe, the EUCBA is a key partner for the diplomatic representation of the People's Republic of China in Brussels.
