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.

Chinese AI, Software, and Automation
Date: June 16, 2026
Event: Focus Group Meeting
Time: 15:00-17:00 CEST
Speaker: Roman Jurowetzki, Associate Professor, Aalborg University and Chief Scientist, CAISA (National Center for AI in Society)
Location: Novo Nordisk A/S, Novo Allé 1, 2880 Bagsværd, Denmark
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:
- Are Chinese IT solutions (including AI) actually getting better than US/European ones?
- Tech/digital/data sphere: "China for China", "China for world", "China for global", "Global for China"
- How much Chinese hardware and software should we use in our Chinese business compared to global (usually American) solution?
- What are the risks compared to dependency on the US?
- High strategic level for insourcing vs global sourcing in tech, and also how to implement security software in Chinese regulatory environment?
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.
NB: The Focus Group Meeting is 'by invitation only'. If you would like to participate but have not received an invitation, please reach out to Deputy Secretary General Martin Bech at mb@dcbf.dk.

Expansion as a Venture: How to Break into the Chinese Market. An Investor Perpsective

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.

Expansion as a Venture: How to Break into the Chinese Market. An Investor Perpsective
Date: November 02, 2021
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.
