Since 2015 Jinan Innovation Zone has organised a yearly conference in Jinan to promote the cooperation between European companies and Chinese companies located in Jinan. The conference is called SME Cooperation Conference (SMEC). The edition of November 2019 has been visited by more than 200 foreign companies and more than 1000 Chinese participants. More than 150 foreign companies have also participated in matchmaking activities with local companies. The investment promotion department in Jinan and the local offices in Europe work closely together in the follow-up, which resulted in several foreign companies which have started a cooperation with a local Chinese company. Due to the Covid-19 situation in the world, the 6th SMEC edition in 2020 has taken place in the form of a video-conference. Although the covid situation in China has improved a lot, the SMEC -which was planned for October 2021- will be held on 28 and 29 April 2022. For the latest information and registration for matchmaking, please go to the SMEC website: www.smecjinan.com
