For almost three decades, Danish companies have run production in China through subsidiaries that have been and are relying on updates and direction from their headquarters in Denmark with respect to technology and software updates. But now, Chinese players in AI, software and automation are increasingly recognized as being among the global leaders. Locally in China, Chinese competitors of the Danish subsidiaries are free to leverage these cutting-edge technologies, and they used them to set up automated 'dark factories' and integrate large language models like DeepSeeks and Qwen into their tech stack.
At the meeting, we discuss China's evolving AI ecosystem, the consequences of China's growing industrial AI adoptin and explore potential consequences for Danish subsidiaries in China.
Topics include:
The programme includes a presentation by Roman Jurowetzki followed by a panel discussion with Bent Dalager, Partner, KPMG.
The meeting will cover China’s evolving AI ecosystem and the growing role of industrial AI adoption. Examining how Chinese companies are increasingly driven by a management focus on speed and trial-and-error approaches, including the use of “vibe coding” principles and methods to support AI integration. Roman will also discuss how these developments may contribute to productivity gains and enhanced competitiveness.
The discussion seeks to explore the practical realities surrounding the strategic choices Danish and international subsidiaries make regarding whether to adopt the Chinese tech stack in their operations, as well as the key considerations shaping these decisions.

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.

This Position Paper of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is the culmination of nine months of dedicated work by 41 working groups and sub-working groups and forums. This year’s Executive Position paper outlines, how over the last year, there has been a significant shift in focus at European companies' headquarters (HQs) when evaluating China.
By prioritizing ideology over economic concerns, China's business environment is becoming less predictable, reliable and efficient.

Join us to understand the key drivers behind these trends and their implications for European business.
