The last couple of years have seen great changes in the way businesses use digitalisation and online services. The pandemic has turbo charged the digitalisation of many Danish businesses, making online meetings, cloud computing, and (perhaps soon) AI an integrated part of our daily work life.
Join us for this event, where we will look at topics such as creating visibility towards potential Chinese customers, the need for the notorious ICP license, The Great Firewall, and other relevant aspects of the digitalisation process for Danish businesses in China.

Join Ai-Leen Lim, CEO & Principal Counsel of AWA Asia in Beijing, for this webinar highlighting critical cases that showcase how foreign businesses are actively litigating in China – and often successfully.
We will cover cases detailing instances of bad-faith trademark registration, securing China’s coveted well-known trademark status, and significantly higher compensation and punitive damages overall. Ai-Leen will also highlight best practice tips as we look at each case in closer detail that will inform your China trademark strategy early on.

Have your ever felt puzzled about by the behavior of a global colleague and thought something along the lines of: Why didn’t they say no if they meant no? Why didn’t they say that they couldn’t meet the agreed deadline? Why didn’t they just say it like it is???
The explanation is most likely that they actually did say this! They just said it in a different way than what you’re used to.
If you want to avoid ending up in these kinds of situations in the future, the first step is to become aware of how you and your global colleagues typically prefer to communicate.
During the short webinar I’ll introduce you to the term ‘Low-high context communication’ and by using many real-life-examples and cases we will take our departure point in the difference btw DK and CN communication and you will walk away with insight and a few practical things to do and not to do to maximize your output in your cross-cultural communication.

This webinar is part of the webinar series 'Staying in Dialogue with China'. The series will bring you six webinars with China-based experts, concentrated on H1, between February and June 2023.
'Staying in Dialogue with China', is organized and hosted by the Stein am Rhein Symposium (stars) in cooperation with China Macro Group (CMG), The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China (EUCCC), Swiss Chinese Chamber of Commerce (SCCC), Danish-Chinese Business Forum (DCBF) and SwissCham China.
At this first session, stars Foundation Board Member Markus Hermann, Managing Director at China Macro Group, will be talking to Joerg Wuttke, President, European Union Chamber of Commerce in China ; Member, stars International Board, Beijing, about China’s economy post-Covid.
With 3%, the country in 2022 recorded the worst economic performance since 1976 – with the exception of 2020, the year Covid hit the world. A strict “zero Covid” policy that at times had put metropolitan regions that account for up to 40% of China’s GDP under lockdown, an international environment dampened by Russia’s unjustified war in Ukraine and global protectionist tendencies, as well as domestic regulatory measures – most notably in real estate – have dealt a heavy blow to the second largest economy in the world.
Now, with Covid restrictions lifted, businesses and investors wonder what 2023 might have in store, and how the Chinese economy will fare beyond 2023. Can we expect a quick recovery on the back of so-called revenge spending by consumers largely contained to their homes in 2022? Does the Chinese government manage to restore confidence among consumers and businesses and stabilize capital and real estate markets? And what do these trends and developments mean for foreign businesses and their China strategies?
Kindly note that all webinars of this series are held under Chatham House Rules and will not be recorded.

DCBF invites members to this online network meeting, organized by Sense China, where the report Sino-Danish Technology Collaboration will be launched. The report is a result of the China Tech project, a collaboration between Danish-Chinese Business Forum, the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences, Sense China, and the Sino-Danish Center for Education and Research.
Working in China is becoming a riskier affair for Danish companies. They are confronted with challenges across a wide spectrum of issues, from geopolitical tensions to human rights concerns. Public opinion in Denmark is adding to the pressure. Critical media coverage and tough political rhetoric are making commercial decisions more difficult to defend.
This online network meeting, organized by Sense China, examines the topic of risk management in China. Several Danish company representatives will share experiences in a confidential setting, focusing on two themes:
If you are interested in participating, please do not hesistate to contact us at info@dcbf.dk
At the online network meeting, a new report will also be launched: Sino-Danish Technology Collaboration.
Throughout the past 10-15 years, many Danish companies and institutions have established relations with China as well as Chinese partners. These relations are today challenged by geopolitical tensions and national priorities in Beijing, Brussels, and Washington. However, technology collaboration with China creates value and is a global necessity in terms of climate change, green transition, and fighting pandemics.
This report introduces the context, potential, forms of collaboration, and ways to manage the risks associated with technology collaboration. It is prepared specifically with small and medium-sized Danish technology companies in mind and aims to help them work more confidently with existing or potential China-based partners.
Sino-Danish Technology Collaboration is a result of the China Tech project, which the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences (ATV) coordinated alongside a working group consisting of the Danish-Chinese Business Forum (DCBF), Sense China (Danish Confederation of Industries), and the Sino-Danish Center for Education and Research. The Laurits Andersen Foundation provided financial support to the China Tech initiative and the report.

Amongst a sea of brands, and endless content, one of the biggest challenges brands face today is effectively connecting with their target audience, both online and offline. Often, marketing initiatives can feel like marketing into the void, without direct and tangible results. With an ever-changing communicational landscape, and ever-increasing number of touchpoints, what we aim to explore is how to avoid exactly that. In this webinar we will try and provide some insights around how to effectively reach your target audience, in a cost-efficient way through "KOL Grass Planting" and "Circling Effect".
