✨👩💻 It’s the third day of the Swissnex in China takeover, and today we want to give you a glimpse into the everyday life at our office in Shanghai! You’ll quickly notice that in China, your phone is an essential tool. A lot of the #startups or partners that come to China are surprised by it. The apps we’re used to in other countries don’t work here, but there’s a Chinese counterpart for almost everything. A unique element to this are the super apps, which include other smaller apps called mini apps. Websites here are not used much anymore, and all the information goes through other channels such as these apps. But don’t worry, at Swissnex in China, we support our partners in navigating this unique digital landscape and ensure they’re equipped with the right tools and insights to succeed in China’s tech-driven market.

🧐 Did you know that Swissnex in China is also active in Hong Kong? Swissnex in China extends its activities and support to Swiss startups not only to Mainland China but also to Hong Kong.
