We are happy to invite you to this offline event.
China remains one of the key markets for many Nordic companies. And since China's opening up, the market conditions for companies operating in China have shifted largely from a global sourcing hub towards catering for domestic clients.
Joint ventures have been important for facilitating Nordic companies' expansion in China, but as the market has matured, so have the alternatives available for companies to grow in China. This panel discussion brings together experts from the corporate, legal and investment banking areas to discuss these alternatives, key market drivers and how Nordic companies can push for inorganic growth in China.
The experts w ill share lessons learnt from M&A projects in China and how to overcome transparency issues, negotiating with local business owners and how to successfully integrate operations between different cultures. The panel w ill be moderated by Nordic Match Associate Klaus Björkgren, and the panelists include Wärtsilä Managing Director Jonny Nylund, DLA Piper Shanghai Partner Stew art Wang, and Nordic Match Partner Tony Wang.
Please notice that we only have 15 seats for the offline event, and we will use the first come, first served principle.
