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.
Date: September 29, 2026
Time: 17:00 –19:00. Coffee served from 16:30 and wine & networking from 19:00

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. This knowledge is key not only because of the peculiarities of China’s human resources and labour regulations, but also, in the case of European SMEs with operations in China, because of the distance between headquarters and the local team.
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.
Date: 14 October, 2026
Time: 10:00–11:30 CEST

This information session is open, free of charge, to all European SMEs and other stakeholders of the EU SME Centre, including business support organisations and trade promotion organisations, as well as public institutions from EU Member States and countries participating in the Single Market Programme

Event: Webinar

China has most recently sailed up to a top position within FDI. But how are Danish MNCs handling M&As in China and what differentiates the Chinese market from other markets? How are the targets localized and what advantages are there versus organic growth? What are the most common pitfalls and difficulties and what attracts a Chinese mid-market company to sell to a Danish corporate? How does the IPO vs M&A trend look like in the Chinese market?
We have invited Klaus Björkgren, Tony Wang and Sean Ni from Nordic Match to elaborate on these questions and to cover partnerships and Joint Ventures in China. With a mission to promote Sino-Nordic trade and investment, they provide advice to several of the Nordic MNCs for inbound M&As to China, and share their deep understanding of the market and local needs, ranging from idea generation to post transaction services.

Aldo Spaanjaars, Owner of Dragon Strategies, together with Sandrine Zerbib, President of BAOZUN Brand Management & BAOZUN Europe, has co-authored the intriguing book "Dragon Tactics: How Chinese Entrepreneurs Thrive in Uncertainty" (2022), which presents a potent mix of China's four-thousand-year-old history, and management methods that borrow as much from Confucianism as from new technologies.

China’s Concepts and Aspirations for a Multipolar World
Date: June 09, 2023
Time: 9:00-09:45 a.m. DK / 3:00-3:45 p.m. CN
Event: Supported Webinar
Speaker: Jia Qingguo, Member, Standing Committee of the 11th National Committee of the CPPCC (2008-2013); Member, Standing Committee of the Central Committee of China Democratic League; Former Dean, School of International Studies, Peking University, Beijing, China.
Under Deng Xiaoping, Beijing adhered to the maxim to “hide your strength and bide your time” in foreign affairs, seeking to ensure an international environment conducive to its own development with less active involvement in global politics. First in 2016 in a study session and then in 2018 in a foreign affairs working meeting, Xi laid out his new direction for China’s role in global affairs to “lead the reform of global governance” (引领全球治理体系改革). Reflective of this growing sense of global responsibility and clout, China has been (co-)driving a number of initiatives to reshape the existing US-led international order towards a world order conceived of as a “community with a shared future for mankind” (人类命运共同体), among them the BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), or the latest three initiatives of the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative (GSI), and the Global Civilization Initiative (GSI). How does Beijing understand the current world order and multipolarity? What roles and options are there for China in a world where it sees a “rising East and a declining West”? How, and with whom does it intend to reshape post-1945 institutions? And what could this mean for global cooperation and economic globalization? Beyond the key global trading blocs, how does China look at ASEAN, the Middle East, India or Africa?
'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), SwissCham China, Danish Chamber of Commerce Hong Kong (DCCHK), China Europe International Business School (CEIBS and China Netzwerk Baden-Württemberg (CNBW)

Recent years have seen great changes in the way Chinese businesses use digital solutions. This also applies to business-to-business sectors where many companies now apply strategies and procedures previously reserved for consumer industries.
Join us for this seminar, where we examine how to create a digital presence towards Chinese corporate customers. You will receive valuable inputs about choice of online platforms, employee branding, how to deal with China's “Great Firewall", and other aspects of B2B digitisation in China.
If you have any questions about the event please do not hesitate to contact Communications & Project Manager Rasmus Sehested Thormann at rst@dcbf.dk
