The European Chamber and its partners at the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) are excited to offer a unique event series relating to their jointly published report, Decoupling: Severed Ties and Patchwork Globalisation.
This event series will help connect you with the authors behind the various sections of the report, with the aim of helping businesses get to grips with decoupling and factor it into their corporate strategies to better prepare for possible scenarios moving forward.
The Series is composed of 5 episodes and will respectively focus on the the following areas:
- The Big Picture – Examine how all the pieces of decoupling fit together
- Macro – Political and financial
- Digital – Data governance, network equipment and telecoms services
- Innovation – R&D and standards
- Trade – Supply chains and critical inputs
Each session will consist of presentations followed by a moderated Q&A.

Macro Decoupling |
Carl Hayward, Director of Communications, European Chamber Tom Groot Haar, Policy and Communications Coordinator, European Chamber |
|
Political and financial decoupling present a wide range of risks for European companies, both directly as they run the risk of running afoul of increasingly complex rules and expectations, but also indirectly through their supply chains and business partners. |

|
24th March, 16:00 |
Digital Decoupling |
John Lee, Senior Analyst, MERICS Rebecca Arcesati, Analyst, MERICS Jacob Gunter, Senior Policy and Communications Manager, European Chamber |
|
Digital decoupling embodies many of the biggest concerns found in the report, as they play central roles in the technology war and growing divergence between China’s and the US’s technology ecosystems. Getting a clear view of how data governance, network equipment and telecoms services will impact your company is increasingly important as companies in every industry adopt digital solutions to remain competitive. |

|
26th March, 16:00 |
Innovation Decoupling |
Caroline Meinhardt, Analyst, MERICS Ester Canada Amela, Business Manager and Head of European Affairs, European Chamber |
|
Innovation decoupling covers the growing gap between China and global R&D ecosystems, as well as the newest battleground between major economies, standards setting. Understanding how to navigate these divergences is critical to maximising ROI in your company’s innovation strategy while also managing the growing list of tech export restrictions. Finally, companies that hope to stay in a leading role in standards setting would benefit from understanding how to reinvigorate their strategy in this undervalued arena. |

30th March, 16:00 |
Trade Decoupling |
Caroline Meinhardt, Analyst, MERICS Jacob Gunter, Senior Policy and Communications Manager, European Chamber |
|
Trade decoupling has been one of the most visible areas of decoupling thanks to the US-China trade war. However, navigating tariffs is not longer the sole concern in trade, as potential shifts in supply chains could disrupt long-standing norms. Most importantly, companies need to urgently prepare for the risks of export controls imposed on critical inputs like semiconductors and software in their supply chains. |
