SRP was present at a very entertaining panel discussion on the challenges of doing business in the changed China business environment. Peter Buytaert, Co-Founder and Exco member of SRP, presented a very balanced view on the challenges of China and also what it presented as continued opportunities. In a nutshell, nothing is easy any more in a new economic environment of China. The highway of growth became a slower cobblestone road. Yet, we cannot ignore the size and innovation power of this new dragon giant. Confronted with this change in geopolitics, we tend to protect ourselves and become rather fearful. This is reflected in current EU and US policies. Instead, we should at least explore this new reality and, without being naive, find ways of collaboration that will benefit all economies. It is clear that if a business aligns with the new high impact markets (e.g. biotech, AI, clean tech), the red carpet of investments in China is wide open and more than ever, incentives are available to support entry and expansion. Stay tuned for a paper that will be presented shortly on the topic by SRP.... https://lnkd.in/eS-z5Mec
