GO CHINA 2022 STARTUP DAYS VIENNA is a 2-days event in Vienna for Austrian startups interested in the Chinese market that want to explore how to internationalize to hotspots such as Beijing or Shanghai. Enjoy a casual evening full of networking, exchange with China-experts and the GIN GO ASIA alumni network, where you can connect with Austrian startup founders and entrepreneurs who have successfully done business in Mainland China. During the workshops on day 2 you can learn more about Shanghai and Beijing’s vibrant ecosystems and start planning your expansion strategy.

This event not only for „newbies“ and startups that have not had any touchpoints with Mainland China yet, but also for more experienced startups that want to refresh their knowledge and need a deeper insight into relevant topics (e.g. GO ASIA alumni startups).
