Creating tomorrow’s governance (Non) Executive CHINA PROGRAMME 7-13 December 2019 Beijing – Shanghai – Hangzhou - Shenzhen WELCOME TO THE PROGRAMME We are delighted to present to you the long awaited (Non) Executive China Programme. Especially in times when political issues are influencing our perception of the relation with China, it is important that we remain connected with business networks in China and continue to invest in the mutual understanding of the business dynamics and governance in this emerging world power. This programme is your chance to find out for yourself and make your own judgement. We aspire to empower both executives and non-executives of China-focused companies by joining this programme. China is becoming an increasingly important business partner for European companies as relations between China and the United States are cooling down. In Europe, corporate leaders - both executives and non-executives - need to redefine their China strategy; not only from a commercial, but also from a governance and cultural perspective. We developed the programme together with our partner the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business (CKGSB), one of the leading business schools in China. A warm welcome to you. We are proud of this ambitious programme which surely will contribute to a better mutual understanding of China-Europe relations. So join us to China and find out yourself.
