The Finnish Chamber of Commerce in China warmly invites you to an exclusive event in collaboration with the i10 Network!
In today's fast-evolving market, local innovation is critical to maintaining a competitive edge in China. Yet coordinating innovation efforts between China and global headquarters presents unique challenges. In a joint i10 innovation seminar main-organized by The Danish Chamber of Commerce in China (DCCC), The American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai (AmCham), and The Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), we will explore how to harmonize innovation cultures, processes, and strategic goals to support three innovation pathways: Global-for-China, China-for-China, and China-for-Global.
Business leaders from Danish, American and Korean leading companies in China will discuss how alignment across borders can unlock untapped potential, accelerate time-to-market, and enhance local and global competitiveness. Their panelists representing companies from three different continents will also examine common cross-border innovation hurdles — including differences in decision-making, speed, organizational culture, and resource allocation — and identify actionable strategies to bridge these gaps and drive sustained innovation impact.
Spaces are limited — don't miss this chance to join us for an open town hall event to learn and network with industry and innovation leaders across three continents!
