Time: (9:30-10:30 a.m. DK/3:30-4:30 p.m. CN)

The Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce invites you to a webinar on Digital Marketing for Industrial Goods in China, featuring DCBF Member Jonathan Kullman, Founder & CEO of NBH, who will provide a practical overvies of ho industrial companies can build an effective digital presence in China and traslate it into concrete business opportunities.


About the Webinar:

For European industrial companies, China remains a critical growth market. However, succeeding in China today requires more than a strong product or global brand presence. China’s digital ecosystem operates fundamentally different from Western markets. Buyers rely on local platforms to discover, evaluate, and shortlist suppliers. Search behavior, content expectations, and brand credibility are all highly localized and more demanding.

Many European industrial companies with strong offerings and local operations in China are still not optimally positioned digitally to support lead generation and commercial growth.

This session will provide a practical overview of how industrial companies can build an effective digital presence in China and translate this into concrete business opportunities.

Topics that will be covered:

  • How Chinese B2B buyers search for and evaluate suppliers.

  • Key digital platforms in China (e.g. Baidu, WeChat, industry platforms).

  • Common mistakes European companies make when entering the Chinese digital landscape.

  • How to align branding, content, and channels to support lead generation.

  • Practical examples of what works in industrial B2B marketing in China.

China’s Strategic Minerals Sector today – building towards an integrated exploration, production, supply, storage and sales system

Date: May 28, 2026

Event: Supported Webinar

Time: Beijing Time - 15:00-15:45 Copenhagen Time 09:00-09:45

About the Webinar 

The second session in China Macro Groups 'Sector Dialogues' webinar series, Markus Hermann Chen, Co-Founder and Managing Director of China Macro Group, will be in conversation with esteemed guest Mr. David Bo, Independent Director of Zijin Mining, Asia Potash, and Lingbao Gold.

As global competition intensifies over critical minerals, the race to secure stable and diversified supply is rapidly reshaping the industry—redefining investment strategies, supply chain configurations, and international partnerships.

Against this backdrop, China is advancing a more integrated approach to strategic resource governance. A key policy signal from the 2024 Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee’s Decision on Further Deepening Reform and Advancing Chinese Modernization calls to”完善战略性矿产资源探产供储销统筹和衔接体系” (Improve the overall planning and coordination system for the exploration, production, supply storage and sales of strategic mineral resources), underscoring the importance of coordinating the full value chain—from exploration and production to supply, storage, and end-use.

In this webinar, Mr. David Bo will share insights from both policy and industry perspectives, exploring:

  • How the global race for critical minerals is reshaping the sector
  • China’s approach to building an integrated “探产供储销” system
  • The implications for supply chain security and industrial resilience
  • What this means for international business, investors, and policymakers

Mr. David Bo has over 30 years of experience in mining and oil & gas, beginning his career at PetroChina before joining the Ivanhoe group in 1996, where he held various managerial roles, including General Manager of Business Development at Ivanhoe Capital Corporation. Over the past 20 years, he has served on the boards of multiple international companies and advised firms on mergers & acquisitions, financing, corporate development, and joint ventures.

Meanwhile, the banking sector turmoil at the end of Q2 has brought risks of a credit crunch and a sharp increase in the probability of a recession in the developed economies this year.

Join our Q2 2023 quarterly outlook webinar, hosted by Redmond Wong, Market Strategist at Saxo Markets Hong Kong, to explore the investment implications of the secular trend of fragmentation and the latest development in the market. Highlights of the discussion will include: 

  • Bonds & FX: What happens when a tightening cycle ends before inflation is defeated?
  • Equities. Fragmentation and banking crisis mean pain, but also opportunities
  • Commodities: Caught between a slowdown in US and Europe and recovery in China demand
