Belgium-China Desk

Your professional partner and gateway to Europe and China

As China becomes increasingly important in global economic terms, it retains huge potential for growth and continues to represent a significant opportunity for trade and investment, both into and from Europe. 

Unlike the other international networks that focus on the Fortune 500 companies entering the Chinese market, BDO in China has developed into the number one service provider to local Chinese entrepreneurs and State-Owned Enterprises. 

To support businesses with this trend and to leverage its unique position in China, BDO has launched the Belgium-China Desk to respond to the increasing market demand of Chinese companies intending to invest and operate in Belgium. Likewise, Belgian companies that wish to enter the Chinese market can also call upon the expertise of the BDO Belgium-China Desk. 

Comprising both native Belgian and Chinese professionals in-house, we are able to assist Chinese and Belgian companies and effectively bridge the language and cultural gap, based on our significant experience and knowledge of executing China business strategies over the short, medium and long term. In close collaboration with our BDO firm in the Greater China Region, the China Desk team provides coordinated expertise and support across our key advisory, planning and compliance services.

How BDO can help
