In a time of slow growth and saturated markets, China is the motor of
the world's economy. No one with global ambitions can afford to overlook China.
Yet equally, China is not business as usual as Western firms would
traditionally understand it. There are risks which Europeans may be unfamiliar
with, as currently demonstrated by the fast-evolving business impact resulting
from the novel coronavirus. But there are also extraordinary opportunities.
From supply chains to intellectual property, from maintaining a local workforce
to understanding marketing and distribution channels, China does it
differently.
Together with the Swiss Re Institute, we would like to invite
you to meet an exclusive group of experts on 18 March 2021 at the Swiss Re
Centre for Global Dialogue in Rüschlikon to explore what it takes to master the
Chinese market and which pitfalls to avoid.
Space at the conference is limited and will be allocated on a first come first
served basis.
