🔜 ProductIP Networking & Knowledge Event 📅 Date: Friday, April 12 🕣 Time: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM 📍Location: Regal Airport Hotel, Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong (a few minutes from Asia World Expo) Amidst the trade show hustle, it's critical for management, buying and category managers to balance commercial ambitions with compliance needs. In response to the positive feedback from last year's events, ProductIP, together with DutchChamand NHKBA is thrilled to offer a Networking & Knowledge session aimed at helping you navigate these challenges and address them in your meetings with suppliers and at your office. We've handpicked three topics from the regulatory tsunami to ensure you leave the event with a clear understanding of their scope and impact on products, pricing and internal processes. Key Topics: 👉CBAM: The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is the new tool to put a carbon tariff on carbon-intensive products, such as steel, cement and some electricity imported to the EU. While it doesn't directly impact product compliance, the same teams often address it. Understanding the tax implications of imports and how they affect your operations is crucial. 👉 EUDR: The new EU Deforestation-Free Products Regulation (expanding on the EU Timber Regulation) adds stricter responsibilities, requiring the verification of sustainable product origins and the social and environmental circumstances in the supply chain. 👉 GRS: Global Recycled Standards is a certification scheme rapidly being embraced by large retail and trading companies. Though not a regulation, GRS encourages the use of recycled materials in packaging and products, supporting the growing movement towards a circular economy. Positioned time-wise between the Global Sources Consumer Electronics and Hong Kong Electronics trade shows, this event offers a valuable opportunity for those in Hong Kong, attending these trade shows, or on their way to the Canton Fair, to deepen their knowledge and, importantly, expand their network. Remember, business is about people! 👉👉 Reserve your spot today to confidently face the regulatory landscape ahead. https://lnkd.in/eP7ppa_p PS: Visit ProductIP at the Global Sources Consumer Electronics show to see firsthand how our digital product and supply chain compliance solution empowers industry leaders. April 11-14, 2024, BOOTH 8F06.

Many became aware of the tremendous significance of personal encounters only during the pandemic. Human beings need straight exchange. It became obvious, too, that good ideas need marketplaces – virtual ones or real ones. Usually, building trust begins with personal encounters. And trade fairs even may help solving problems worldwide; sustainability, energy supply and nutrition are just a few examples. Trade fairs are the best possible way to find new business partners in person and to stabilise partnerships. Another important point is that competition may be monitored closely.

❔ When was the last time you took a really close look at the processes in your company? ❓     As a professional, it's always exciting to attend events that showcase the latest developments and innovations in the industry;   ProWein is the central trade fair for producers, retailers, suppliers and service providers in the wine industry.   And that brings us back to the initial question: 🔎 When was the last time you systematically looked at the processes in your organisation?   If I had to guess: it's been a while... And that's quite understandable - everyday life is often hectic and demanding. But that's precisely why it's so important to regularly review and optimise your own processes - like a well organized wine refrigerator.   With modernised processes and modern machines, there are many opportunities to create efficiency potentials by today and reduce costs by tomorrow.   This is exactly where we come into the picture. We help companies to analyse their operating processes, identify potential for improvement and develop solutions with the manpower of 🔶 POWERJO.   See you at #ProWein 2024 - don't hesitate to get in touch with us.   Let's talk about your challenges and find ways to make your company even more successful. I look forward to getting to know you! Let´s make #ProWein2024 a #thriving event.

The first recorded trade fair - 1150 AD No prizes for guessing that the first documented trade fair took place in Frankfurt, and 800 years later, the city remains one of the most popular destinations for trade fairs in the world. These early trade fairs focused on agricultural products and wine, which, I like to think, have now evolved into the many food & wine markets of europe. Disclaimer: although this may be the first officially documented trade fair, bazzars and barter markets have existed throughout all of history to facilitate trade, for example along the silk/ spice route. Do you think Oktoberfest would count as a Trade Fair and therefore a business expense?
