Breakfast Seminar: Will the Chinese Dragon Strengthen Your Business or Eat You Alive?
For a long time, Chinese companies had the reputation for being shameless copycats of Western products. Today China is pushing the frontiers of technical development and innovation. The nation invests more in R&D than the United States does – investments that commercialise products and create jobs. 2018 the Chinese gross domestic product will be the highest in the world, with the USA in a second place. Chinese direct investments in Sweden have tripled in recent years and are expected to increase further. However, Chinese ways can be challenging to comprehend due to the complex dynamics between cultural, social, political and economic factors. Not understanding the full context is the most common reason why Western businesses fail to capitalize on the huge potential in cooperating with Chinese companies.
At the breakfast seminar you will have the opportunity to listen to Frédéric Cho, strategic advisor on China-related economic issues and corporate investments, who has worked with China since the 1980`s, and lived and worked for altogether 18 years in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. He will discuss how China`s role in the world, Europe and in Sweden has changed – much more then Swedish companies realize.
