For French companies already established in China, the question is no longer whether to be in the market, but how to leverage their China presence as a platform for broader regional growth. This seminar, ‘Bridging China to ASEAN—Opportunities & Incentives for French Companies in China,’ brings together perspectives from China, Vietnam, and Singapore to explore how businesses can optimise their footprint across Asia. It covers recent policy developments and tax incentives in China, production diversification strategies in Vietnam, and Singapore’s role as a gateway for global expansion, including banking access and financial capabilities.
