Description:

For most multinational companies, a strong China operation remains a strategic necessity—if not a growth and development priority. But China has changed, and the halcyon days of high growth, limited local competition, and above average profitability are over.  How can foreign investors successfully operate and compete in a market where trust is scarce, local competition is intense and tilted, and geopolitical risk is high? Join us for a critical discussion on the evolving China market and US-China “strategic competition”. We will dissect the forces shaping the China business environment, and examine a real life case highlighting the enduring features of the China market that business leaders simply must understand to succeed in China as well as defend against fast moving Chinese competitors in global markets.

Join us to gain: 

  • Gain a critical understanding of the evolution the U.S.’s relationship with the People’s Republic of China to inform your strategy.
  • Acquire practical approaches and best practices for navigating the geopolitical landscape, regulatory complexities, and other challenges.
  • Network with fellow multinational executives to share experiences, validate strategies, and collectively explore opportunities amidst uncertainty.

 

To be held in New York City. The roundtable will be followed by a cocktail reception.

CEO, CFO, COO, Heads of Strategy, CLO
