Date: November 14, 2022
Time: 8.00-10.00 AM (CET)
Event: Conference
Rebalancing Your China Strategy
Exclusive conference - by invitation only
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.
