Join the first virtual Zuid-Holland Hebei Week on 16, 17 and 18 November 2020

Join the first virtual Zuid-Holland Hebei Week on 16, 17 and 18 November 2020

Zuid-Holland province maintains a government-to-government relationship with the province of Hebei, China, that is explicitly aimed at facilitating mutual business-to-business relationships. The relationship started in 1993 and turned into an official friendship relationship in 2007 by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The latest MoU was signed for the period 2016-2020 and focused in particular on water management and the environment, sustainable development, agriculture and horticulture, new energy and education.

Both provinces decided to extend the MoU for the period 2021-2025. Feeding and greening the megacities, sustainable urbanization and water management form the basis of the new MoU. 

The previous ceremonial signing moments invariably took place during a trade mission in one of the two provinces. Due to the Covid-19 crisis, a trade mission is currently not an option. Instead, Hebei and Zuid-Holland will organize an online trade mission between November 16-18.

The Zuid-Holland Hebei Week will consist of several parts:

  • Online governor’s meeting between the governor of Hebei, Mr. Xu Qin, and King’s Commissioner Jaap Smit about the content and implementation of the new MoU
  • Investment Promotion webinar between Zuid-Holland and Hebei, co-organized by InnovationQuarter and the Hebei Commerce Department
  • Agro-food webinar “Upgrading the Greenhouse Sector in Hebei” organized by Zuid-Holland Province, CAU Futong, and the Hebei Agriculture Department with key-notes from Vice Governors Shi Qingshuang and Adri Bom-Lemstra and hosted by Professor Zhang Tianzhu of CAU Futong, including a matchmaking event for Agri-/horticulture companies
  • Webinar “sponge Infrastructure in the City under the Influence of Climate Adaptation” organized by Zuid-Holland Province, the Dutch PIB Urban Challenges consortium, Hebei Water Department, and Hebei Urban Construction Department

Our Green Ambition by Nan Su | Managing Partner of DSBP – 16 October 2020

COVID-19 changed us in many ways.

It changed how we live, how we work, how our city runs.

What has Changed?

For our company: no business missions to China anymore and no delegations from China to be accompanied. But, it gives us plenty of time to look into our organization, our strength and most importantly our sources of passion. Our Managing Partner Nan Su grew up in a mega city – she calls it a ”concrete desert”, she didn’t know what ”biodiversity” means, because in a metropolitan area, you don’t see many different species then human being. Adding on with challenges such as climate change (heat stress, frequent flooding,  longer draughts, loss of biodiversity) and healthy food for supply for mega cities..

We finally have ”time” to think about it – what can we do with our knowledge, network and expertise? And of course, we take actions. Establishing the foundation – European Green Cities/Sites Development – Enabling Nature based Solutions

Can we bring positive influence in this world and meanwhile build a healthy business model? Friday afternoon, we would like to present you our ideas and get inspirations from you.

 The subnational governmental relations between China and Europe by Shaw Qin | Director of DSBP – 9 October 2020

Subnational governmental relation, or called city diplomacy, is more visible in the international exchange along with the rapid urbanisation globally. It is also playing a considerable role in the relation between Europe and China. Until July of 2015, as an official report from the Chinese side indicated, 776 cities and provinces between China and Europe have established a sister city relationship.

What’s the motivation for Chinese cities and provinces to go abroad? Can the international relationship with Chinese cities and provinces actually bring business benefits? Will the subnational governmental relation be influenced by geopolitical change and the national bilateral relation?

The China’s Bold New Carbon Neutral Plan by Floriske Deutman | Managing Partner of DSBP – 2 October 2020 

China – The biggest pollution nation in the world – made a surprising announcement last week during the United Nations conference that China will drastically slash emissions and reach net-zero by 2060. 

How are they going to achieve it? China currently represents 28% of the total greenhouse gas emissions!

What is the motivation behind this decision, what will it mean for us and also for our business? Does it mean that China will shift away from a growth-based economy?

One Village One Product – China’s Rural Development Strategy by Daisy Zhang – 25 September 2020

After the urbanization, it is now very important in China to focus on the development of rural areas. For example, how to shift the stress from the cities and how to develop more potential in less developed areas.

This is the latest rural development strategy in which China emphasizes on. 

But how are they doing this? One of the key aspects is to create specialties for each village – One Village One Product (OVOP) as the rural development strategy in many Asian countries.
