The College of Industrial Engineers of Catalonia is organizing a free workshop on the Chinese investments in Europe that will be held on October 22nd, 2012 in their headquarters at Via Laietana 39, 5th floor, in Barcelona, at 6:30 pm.

Since Deng Xiaoping opened China's economy to outdoor markets in the early 80's, many western countries have invested there to benefit from the lower salaries, helping to boost Chinese exports worldwide. After 30 years, now it is China that is investing worldwide, thanks to its economic power and the technological knowledge learnt from western companies.

The purpose of workshop is to give a general view of the present situation of the Chinese investments in Europe, specifically analyzing the situation in Catalonia.

The event will be introduced and presented by Mr. Jordi Guix, president of the Commission of Industrial Policy and Technological Innovation and coordinator of the China Working Group, and the discussion will be conducted by Mr. Carles Palomo, Fixing Business Unit Director at Roberlo SA. Invited speakers will be Mr. Jordi Martí, General Director for the China Desk of Mazars Spain and General Director of the China at Barcelona Summit; Eva Aumedes, expert on Asian markets and Director of the program Asian Headquarters of ACC1Ó - Invest in Catalonia, oriented towards the attraction of Chinese investments in Catalonia; and Shanmei Yu, General Director of Keeway Motor España.
