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?

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.

Expansion as a Venture: How to Break into the Chinese Market. An Investor Perpsective
Date: November 02, 2021
Time: 09.00 - 10.00 (Denmark) / 16.00 - 17.00 (China)
Event: Webinar
“Expansion as a venture” means that multinationals should see themselves as a venture again when entering China. This means starting small, looking closely at the market, being entrepreneurial, adapting constantly, hedging bets, keeping the burn-rate low, moving fast etc. Basically, it means to be a young company again and to grow up in a challenging but rewarding environment. Seeing “Expansion as a venture” is simple in theory, but hard in practice. At LvS Partners, they apply this approach in the pre- and post-investment expansion of their portfolio companies (their value-added strategy). In this webinar they will share some of their experiences and are open to discuss expansion strategies contemplated by the participants.
The webinar is held by:
Nick H. Laursen and Gerard van Swieten, Managing Partners at Laursen van Swieten
