China continues to offer significant opportunities for high-tech companies, while also raising strategic questions and uncertainties. In this small-scale, interactive session, we share practical insights into how companies can explore the Chinese market in a structured and realistic way.

During the session, Ronnie Kuppens will draw on his experience in China to discuss current developments, market opportunities and practical approaches relevant to Dutch high-tech companies.

In addition, Valérie Hoeks will share her perspective on the concerns and risks organisations often encounter when engaging with China, and how these can be assessed, mitigated and communicated internally to boards, shareholders and other stakeholders.

The session concludes with an interactive Q&A with Ronnie Kuppens, Valérie Hoeks and EJ Lugt, offering room for open discussion and exchange of experiences.
