China Perspectives for the Board Room

In an era defined by rapid technological disruption and shifting global alliances, today’s board members face an increasingly complex and uncertain risk landscape.

China is no longer merely a manufacturing hub - it has emerged as a technological superpower, an important player in the global green transition, and a dominant force across critical emerging industries.

As the EU and its member states define new strategies for engaging with China, Danish companies must carefully reassess the implications for their global competitiveness, supply chain resilience, and long-term strategic positioning.

The Board Leadership Society and Danish-Chinese Business Forum (DCBF) invite board members and senior executives to a high-level, closed-door conference addressing how boards can take a proactive, informed approach to their global operations, risk assessments, and long-term competitiveness - with China at the center of the conversation. It is also a unique opportunity for networking with fellow board members.

This year, the event is generously hosted by BESTSELLER in Aarhus (with an option to join online). We look forward to welcoming you.
