Market Entry & Market Expansion

Incubation Solutions

The Incubation Solution (IBS) offers a smarter, faster, and more cost-effective way to establish your presence in China. Traditional methods (Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE), Representative Office)—such as establishing a corporation, hiring local talent, and navigating complex regulations—can be time-consuming, costly, and may not align with your business objectives. With IBS, your company can be present in China without the administrative burdens, allowing you to focus on strategic growth and market expansion.

Vocational Education & Training

AHK Greater China champions dual training programs, bridging vocational schools and companies with German-standard examination and certification processes. We provide comprehensive support, including teacher and trainer development, and consulting services for companies interested in German vocational education. Our certificates are highly valued across China, with seven vocational majors recognized as "Level II (Technician)" by Jiangsu Province. By participating in AHK projects, apprentices gain a solid career foundation, opening doors to promising futures in German companies. Graduates with AHK certificates are in high demand, with many using their certification as a springboard into challenging and rewarding careers. Today's AHK apprentices are tomorrow's managers - potentially within your own company.

Visa Services

We have been helping people obtain visas for over 20 years, specializing in Schengen countries, Germany, and China. Our team of experts is dedicated to ensuring that your visa application process is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Additionally, we offer assistance in handling document notarization and/or authentication services in China, making it even easier for you to get all the necessary paperwork in order.
