WEBINAR - Entering China Safely: IPR Protection & Practical Dispute Resolution Tools for Nordic Innovators
Entering China Safely
IPR Protection & Practical Dispute-Resolution Tools for Nordic Innovators
China has changed. Has your understanding of doing business there kept pace?
For many Nordic startups, innovators, and established businesses, today's China remains surprisingly unfamiliar.
China's innovation ecosystem, intellectual property protection, legal framework, and commercial environment have evolved significantly. Yet many companies still rely on outdated assumptions or incomplete information about how the Chinese system actually works.
This KNOWLEDGE GAP can lead to missed opportunities, unnecessary risks, and costly strategic mistakes.
China offers substantial opportunities for Nordic innovation. But successful market entry requires understanding its institutional environment, protecting intellectual property, and knowing how to prevent and resolve commercial disputes.
Get first-hand insights directly from experienced Chinese IP and dispute-resolution experts.
Join our FREE, one-hour expert webinar, bringing together leading Chinese professional organisations and Nordic business expertise.
This is not another general introduction to the Chinese market. It is a practical opportunity to learn how China's IP protection and commercial dispute-resolution systems work today — directly from professionals operating within them.
Co-organised by: FULESHI, Sanyou IP, CCPIT / CCOIC Mediation Center, and Terkko Health Hub.
