Signing of the Golden Book at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce:

The “Hamburg Summit” was initiated and organised by the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce for the first time in 2004 as a platform for an open dialogue between Europe and China with the goal to improve the economic relations and the understanding of each other. Since then, the conference has become the major conference on Sino-European business relations. High-ranking speakers and participants discuss the future of the Chinese economic system, Chinese investments in Europe and current issues such as security in the internet of things.
