Foreign Desk

GOALS:

The International Desk is an operating desk designed to give assistance to institutions and companies already operating in China, or to companies operating outside China who want to begin to open up to foreign markets. The International Desk is the best answer to the problems encountered in the internationalization and globalization of markets, in particular by Small-Medium Enterprises. This type of instrument has already been utilized by the 99 Italian Chambers of Commerce in China and by the 40 Italian Chambers of Commerce around the world. The desk offers specialized services through the combination of advanced know-how and the added value gained by businesses who have permanent contact with foreign firms. Chinamultiservice makes available within its own facilities International Desks for Provincial and Regional size institutions. The presence of these desks in China benefit from our staff’s constant coordinated support and communication with the institutions. The desk helps companies in their first approach to the foreign market, and follows them as they facilitate the organization of business conferences, participation in fairs, and take part in other activities and promotions.
