European Business in China: Business Confidence Survey

Date: June 29, 2023

Event: Other

The EU-China Business Association, BusinessEurope and the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China are pleased to invite you to join this hybrid conference of the European Chamber’s annual Business Confidence Survey, where Mr Jens Eskelund, European Chamber President, will share the key findings of this year’s survey outlining European business sentiment in China.

Venue
Online and Adenauer Room, BusinessEurope, Avenue de Cortenbergh 168, 1000 Brussels

Background
Since China ended its ‘zero-COVID’ strategy, Chinese officials have been on a charm offensive in an attempt to restore the country’s allure as an investment destination. However, more will need to be done if China is to successfully reverse the deterioration of business sentiment that has taken place over the past three years.

European companies have already begun shifting investments overseas and, faced with growing risks and a more volatile operating environment, many have adjusted their investment and operational strategies. There is now an increased focus on making operations more durable — for example, through localisation or diversification of supply chains — as opposed to capturing market share. With China’s economy facing numerous headwinds, this trend appears set to continue at least into the medium-term.

Agenda
14h30-15h00: Registration and networking
15h00-15h05: Welcome and introduction
                         Mrs Luisa Santos, Deputy Director General, BusinessEurope
15h05-15h15: Opening remarks
                         Ms Gwenn Sonck, Executive Director, EU-China Business Association
15h15-15h50: Presentation of the EUCCC Business Confidence Survey
                         Mr Jens Eskelund, Chairman, European Union Chamber of Commerce in China
15h50-16h15: Discussion and Q&A,
                         Moderated by Mrs Luisa Santos, Deputy Director General, BusinessEurope

China as an M&A Market for Danish Companies

Date: June 20, 2023

Event: Webinar

Click here to register (for DCBF, DCCC and DCCHK members only).

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.
