As the festive season draws to a close and the new year gains momentum, January presents a timely opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect. In this spirit, the Benelux Chamber of Commerce is pleased to invite you to its 2026 New Year Reception, taking place on Thursday, 29 January 2026.


This reception marks the Chamber's first gathering of the year and offers a distinguished platform for members and partners to come together after the holiday period. In a relaxed yet professional setting, guests will have the opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new contacts, and engage in meaningful conversations. We will also take a moment to introduce the newest members of our community and warmly welcome them into the Benelux network in Shanghai.


We are delighted to host the evening at Café Gray Deluxe, located on the third floor in The Upper House Shanghai. The venue offers a refined and welcoming atmosphere and provides the perfect setting to start the year in good company.

Over a New Year drink, we will reflect briefly on the year behind us and look ahead with confidence to 2026. Let's raise a glass together to new ideas, strengthened partnerships, and continued collaboration within the Benelux business community in Shanghai.
