Intern2China Spring 2026 Participants Celebrate Graduation

On June 4, 2026, participants of the Intern2China Spring 2026 program gathered for a graduation ceremony organized by the Benelux Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, marking the official close of their internship journey.

The event opened with a welcoming speech by Victor Bekink, President of the Benelux Chamber of Commerce, followed by remarks from General Manager Jonathan Xu, who highlighted the growing interest of the young generation in gaining experience in China, and commended the latest cohort for making the jump and stepping out of their comfort zone to embrace such a challenging yet rewarding chapter of their lives.

Each intern was then called up to the stage by Project Manager Flor Baeyens and received by H.E. Koen Sizoo, Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, who personally handed awarded them their certificate, a moment that recognized the hard work and dedication each participant brought to their time in Shanghai.

Following the formalities, participants enjoyed an informal drinks reception, fostering warm exchanges between interns, Chamber representatives, and members of the Dutch Consulate.

This ceremony marks a proud milestone for the Spring 2026 cohort, as we see over 40 Intern2China participants graduate, reinforcing Intern2China's growing role in building bridges between European young talent and China's dynamic business environment.
