Geopolitics - the value of integrating local prespectives

EU Sanctions & Chinese Countermeasures: Navigating the New Compliance Landscape
Date: September 17, 2026
Event: Supported Webinar
Time: 09:00–10:30 CEST
As global conflicts such as the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine carry on and as new tensions emerge, the EU’s sanctions framework – one of the world’s largest and most developed – has grown to include more than 6000 individuals and entities listed. For smaller European companies with business ties with China, the challenges related to compliance – from managing costs to internal capacity-building – have been compounded by an increasingly challenging regulatory landscape.
Most notably, in April 2026, China’s State Council released the Regulations on Countering Improper Extraterritorial Jurisdiction by Foreign States, which establish a mechanism to identify and block foreign measures deemed unlawful, as well as to impose countermeasures where appropriate.
About the Webinar
The EU SME Centre, the European Chamber, the EU Delegation to China, and the EU Sanctions Helpdesk are pleased to invite stakeholders to EU Sanctions and Chinese Countermeasures: Navigating the New Compliance Landscape.
During this session, experts from the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Financial Services and Capital Markets (DG FISMA) will provide an overview of the EU’s sanctions framework, including the most recent updates on relevant sanctions listings. Experts from the EU Sanctions Helpdesk will also present the services of the Helpdesk and share practical advice and tips on compliance for businesses. Finally, a legal representative will discuss how to navigate compliance with the EU’s sanctions framework in China.
Date: September 17, 2026
Time: 9:00 to 10:30 CEST
Location: Virtual
Please note that this meeting is open only to eligible stakeholders, including: European SMEs, members of the European Chamber, European institutional stakeholders and European Business Support Organisations.

China in the Board Room - Danish Responses to China’s 15th Five-Year Plan
Date: September 29, 2026
Event: Signature Event
Time: 17:00-19:00 CEST
Exclusive conference - by invitation only
The Danish Board Leadership Society and the Danish-Chinese Business Forum invite board members and senior executives to a strategic discussion of how China’s next Five-Year Plan may reshape competitive conditions, technology leadership and market access. The session will help boards identify the questions that should inform corporate strategy, risk oversight and investment priorities for 2026–2030.
Speakers
-
Henrik Andersen, CEO, Vestas
-
Markus Hermann Chen, Co-founder & Managing Director, China Macro Group
-
Michala Fischer-Hansen, EVP, Lundbeck
-
Tom Behrens-Sørensen, Chair, Danish Chinese Business Forum

Bente Overgaard, CEO, The Danish Board Leadership Society (moderator)
China’s five-year plans have played a central role in the country’s emergence as the world’s second-largest economy and a strategic competitor to the United States. China also holds a leading position in 66 of the 74 critical technology fields assessed by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. The 15th Five-Year Plan, covering 2026–2030, is expected to accelerate China’s drive for self-reliance in critical technologies and strategic sectors while sustaining its export ambitions. Priority areas include new energy, advanced materials, humanoid robotics, biotechnology, aerospace and quantum technology. These priorities are likely to strengthen Chinese companies in both established and emerging industries, intensifying competition in China and across global markets.
Denmark’s strategic strengths overlap significantly with sectors prioritised by Chinese policymakers and pursued by both private and state-owned enterprises. This convergence is already evident in wind energy, with similar dynamics emerging in life sciences and the maritime supply chain.
Boards should assess the 15th Five-Year Plan through both a risk and an opportunity lens. Its implications will extend beyond China to the United States, the European Union and markets across the Global South. China-related decisions should therefore be tested against their potential consequences in other jurisdictions, particularly for companies with substantial exposure to both the US and Chinese markets.
Our speakers will examine China’s 15th Five-Year Plan and assess the strategic choices available to European companies. The discussion will identify the questions boards should ask about China’s potential impact on competitive positioning, operations, supply chains, technology dependencies, investment decisions and long-term corporate strategy.

Hiring, retaining, firing: HR best practices in China
Date: October 14, 2026
Event: Supported Webinar
Time: 10:00–11:30 CEST
Understanding how to recruit the right people, manage a team and terminate contracts is as crucial in China as it is anywhere else.

On 14 October, the EU SME Centre and European Union Chamber of Commerce in China are organising a workshop in Beijing and online to share information on HR best practices with experts.

Venue: AWA Denmark A/S, Copenhagen

Why Participate?
Foreign companies are more than ever required to understand the political circumstances affecting the online marketplace in China in order to leverage the various Chinese platforms and grasp the opportunities they hold when it comes to getting in touch with Chinese consumers. Join this DCBF Signature Event to gain insights on how to navigate the increasingly regulated Chinese digital landscape and learn from case stories of successful brands on the Chinese online marketplace.
About the event
The Chinese digital landscape has developed independently from the rest of the world during the past 10 years. With its own social media-, livestreaming- and e-commerce platforms, as well as a myriad of apps and other digital tools, the Chinese online marketplace has always been a hard nut to crack. The almost complete closure of the Chinese borders has made a successful entry even harder. Furthermore, the internet and the Chinese tech giants have been under political pressure from the party and the Chinese authorities, and therefore foreign companies are required to pay attention to the political circumstances affecting the online marketplace. Nonetheless, the online ecosystem in China holds big opportunities for Danish companies.
At this DCBF Signature Event, Casper Wichmann from ThinkChina University of Copenhagen’s China-focused think tank, will talk about the possibilities the Chinese digital landscape holds regarding the Chinese consumer journey, and what to be aware of when navigating the Chinese digital market. Afterwards Niels Christian Flintholm from the China focused branding and marketing agency Leaf Digital will share his insights on how Scandinavian brands can leverage the unique Chinese online ecosystem to make successful inroads in the market. The presentation will mainly be based on Leaf Digital´s own successful cases from the Chinese market.

Event: Conference
Rebalancing Your China Strategy
Exclusive conference - by invitation only
INTRODUCTION
Multinational companies operate in an increasingly volatile geopolitical world characterized notably by systemic rivalry between China and the West and by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The world seems to be heading towards polarization between liberal democracies lead by USA and authoritarian regimes lead by China at a time when the world’s largest challenges (climate change and biodiversity crisis) require global solutions.
The economic outlook is clouded with uncertainty on the backdrop of the global COVID pandemic causing havoc with global supply chains and triggering inflationary pressures.
Board rooms are faced with new dilemmas and challenges as witnessed by quite a number of Danish companies in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.
How do Danish companies navigate in a New World Order, notably vis-à-vis China? China is today Denmark’s 3rd largest export market for goods and services when including indirect exports and is poised to become the world’s largest economy.
Is there a need to rebalance your China strategy?
WHY PARTICIPATE
It is increasingly important for Danish companies to understand the drivers, dynamics, and implications of the New World Order to ensure that the strategy is optimally designed in terms of robustness and agility. This conference will provide directors and executives with the means to discuss and share insights and perspectives on how best to respond to these challenges.

Board Leadership in a New World Order
Date: november 14, 2022
Event: Conference
Rebalancing Your China Strategy
Exclusive conference - by invitation only
INTRODUCTION
Multinational companies operate in an increasingly volatile geopolitical world characterized notably by systemic rivalry between China and the West and by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The world seems to be heading towards polarization between liberal democracies lead by USA and authoritarian regimes lead by China at a time when the world’s largest challenges (climate change and biodiversity crisis) require global solutions.
The economic outlook is clouded with uncertainty on the backdrop of the global COVID pandemic causing havoc with global supply chains and triggering inflationary pressures.
Board rooms are faced with new dilemmas and challenges as witnessed by quite a number of Danish companies in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.
How do Danish companies navigate in a New World Order, notably vis-à-vis China? China is today Denmark’s 3rd largest export market for goods and services when including indirect exports and is poised to become the world’s largest economy.
Is there a need to rebalance your China strategy?
WHY PARTICIPATE
It is increasingly important for Danish companies to understand the drivers, dynamics, and implications of the New World Order to ensure that the strategy is optimally designed in terms of robustness and agility. This conference will provide directors and executives with the means to discuss and share insights and perspectives on how best to respond to these challenges.
