Europe remains a strategic growth market for Chinese companies, yet expanding and operating across the region has become increasingly complex. Companies today face growing regulatory scrutiny, evolving employment and tax requirements, rising compliance expectations, and increasing pressure to scale efficiently across multiple jurisdictions.

Whether you are evaluating your first hire in Europe, expanding into new markets, transitioning from an Employer of Record (EOR) model, or integrating an acquisition, choosing the right operating structure has become a critical business decision. The wrong approach can create unnecessary costs, compliance risks, and barriers to future growth.

Join experts from TMF Group Germany and Global Partners (GP) for a practical discussion on how Chinese companies are entering, operating, and scaling across Europe today. Drawing on current market developments and real-life client experiences, we will explore how to select the most suitable workforce and operating model for different stages of growth while maintaining compliance and operational flexibility.
