Wirtschaftsjunioren | Young Leaders Shanghai

The Wirtschaftsjunioren | Young Leaders Shanghai Chapter provides a networking and learning platform for young entrepreneurs and managers of any nationality, who are interested in developing their professional skills and broadening their personal knowledge. The Shanghai Chapter was founded in 2010 by the German Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai in close cooperation with young managers and entrepreneurs with a long-term interest in China. The Wirtschaftsjunioren | Young Leaders (http://www.wjd.de) is the German arm of the Junior Chamber International (http://www.jci.cc). The Wirtschaftsjunioren Shanghai Chapter is guided by the principles of the Wirtschaftsjunioren Germany.

Two working groups within the Wirtschaftsjunioren | Young Leaders Shanghai are in charge of organizing events and activities, which are always looking for active support:

Working Group 1:
Business. We focus on all aspects of business management, including how to improve processes and provide stability in operations. Our topics cover specific business functions such as operations, sales and finance as well as human resources, marketing and business development. We value practical solutions in addressing these issues.

Working Group 2:
Culture. This working group organizes a diverse range of activities which relate to culture in a broader sense, including but not limited to art, music, language, sports, politics, education and travel.

Be active and get engaged!
