Forum Horizon Chine
The Forum Horizon Chine is hosted by the ParisTech Franco-Chinese Friendship
Association(AFCP) and the Embassy of the People’s republic of China in France. The
Forum Horizon Chine will have its 10th Anniversary in 2017. Full of passion and spirit
for perfection, the Forum Horizon Chine will continue to serve as an active platform
for both perspective students and various companies. Here are three objectives of
our forum:
Assist the Chinese students of ParisTech to find a job or an internship;
Assist the French students of ParisTech who are interested in a career related to
China to find a job or an internship;
Provide an exchange opportunity to the French and Chinese companies
The forum firstly held in June 2008 was a real success. Almost 300 students from
French Grandes Écoles and French universities participated in the one-day forum.
The students got the chance to communicate with the participating French and
Chinese companies and many of them were interviewed by multiple companies.
Since then, AFCP hosts the Forum Horizon Chine every year, attracting more and
more companies and students. 27 French, Chinese and other multinational companies
have participated in forums since 2008. We have received many positive feedbacks
from former participants.
This year, we are dedicated to attract more participants with different backgrounds
and more companies from various industries. We wish to meet you in the Forum
Horizon Chine this year and will make every effort to offer you the best service. We
truly hope that all our participants can benefit from our forum.
We sincerely invite you to join us on the 23th February 2017, in Télécom ParisTech!
