Abstract of the speech：

With the whole polyurethane (PU) industry having migrated east over the past 20 + years, how should the PU industry in the Asia - Pacific (APAC) region view the future of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA)? What are the entry barriers to these regions? Clint Raine, with over 30 years of experience in European and American foreign - funded companies, will introduce the market and policy environment of the PU industry in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa from a global perspective.
