GCSx London Tech Week 2026
Event Theme: Between the UK and China: Building Trusted Global Brands in the Age of AI and Geopolitics
Official fringe event at London Tech Week 2026.
Join GCSx and the UK National Committee on China for an evening of discussion and networking at London Business School, as we explore the UK-China tech opportunity.
In an era shaped by AI, data regulations, and shifting geopolitics, trust has become the most valuable currency in business for global brands. For brands expanding internationally, to Europe from China or vice-versa, branding and reputation increasingly matter more than product specs or pricing for success.
London remains one of the few global hubs still built on trust, offering a unique platform for brands and organisations to build credibility, navigate complexity, and scale internationally.
This event will bring together professionals in the tech ecosystem to explore how Chinese tech companies can use the UK as their global trust launchpad and how UK/European tech enterprises can tap into the Chinese tech ecosystem.
