The European Chamber cordially invites you to a Breakfast Roundtable featuring Joerg Wuttke, Partner at DGA-Albright Stonebridge Group, who will analyse the latest dynamics of EU-China Tech & Geopolitics Rivalry and outline the future trajectory of the bilateral ties.
Recently, the Dutch government’s takeover of a major semiconductor firm —based in the Netherlands with key operations in China—has heightened EU-China tensions, triggered intense discussions on supply security, technological sovereignty and Chinese capital control, and even become a microcosm of EU-China tech cooperation and industrial competition.
Against ongoing turbulence in the global semiconductor industry chain, this deeply integrated global collaboration model will inevitably become a conflict focal point as geopolitical tensions rise. Additionally, the lines between technological security and industrial policies are blurring, multinational enterprises face growing compliance risks, and supply chain globalization has entered a re-governance phase.
- What are the key takeaways from the semiconductor case and its impacts on EU-China businesses?
- For multinational technology companies, how can they build supply chain resilience and balance cross-border compliance, corporate governance, and operational stability in a complex geopolitical environment?
- How can the EU and China navigate the balance between economic security and open cooperation in tech industry relations?
- What is the outlook for EU-China economic and trade relations?
- Post US - China summit, what is next?
Mr. Wuttke is a renowned business leader and expert on the Europe-China trade and investment corridor with over 35 years of experience in China, including 27 years as Chief Representative of BASF China and former President of the European Chamber.
Don’t miss this chance to meet Mr. Wuttke and discuss these critical issues.
