| Greetings from the Vice-Chairman |
| "April Fool's' day is canceled this year. Because no made up pranks could match the unbelievable crap going on in the whole wide world right now" I came across this quote the other day and believe it summarizes the global political situation quite well.
On a more serious note we had another successful AGM on March 21st where the new board of directors were elected and the new board has also constituted themselves following the AGM. I would like to say thank you to all the board of directors for their contribution during 2024.
For the rest of 2025 we have a strong line up of activities and we are starting out April 12th with our Easter lunch where Danish artist Michel Birkballe will perform.
Also note we have a legal seminar in May and also the date for the X-mas Dinner is also decided as well. Make sure to reserve all the dates.
Enjoy the Easter break and hope to see many of you at our upcoming events. |

| 2025 Europe-China Conference Shenzhen (ECCS) |
|  |
About the Conference China’s evolving policy and business context for strategic European decision-making ahead of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030)
From November 9-12, 2025, just after the 20th Central Committee’s 5th Plenum will have released the outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan, our partners at China Macro Group (CMG) will host the Europe-China Conference Shenzhen (ECCS) - a focused, high-impact three-day learning conference.
Why attend? ECCS 2025 will present you with the latest insights from leading China-based experts and practitioners, along with exclusive site visits to leading local companies and high-level networking opportunities with other executives from the European business community.
The conference is designed to support European headquarters across corporate and public sectors in times that call for strategic decision-making. The curated content has a strong emphasis on strategy development, partnerships and investment decisions considering relevant contextual factors in China. Those range from a persistently difficult post-Covid economic recovery, an ambitious policy agenda to aid China’s development and reform priorities, to a rapidly evolving corporate landscape increasingly harnessing China’s digital economy and indigenous innovation - all of which is crucial to better understand how Beijing views the world and deals with geopolitical factors.
Backed by CMG’s expertise in advising European corporations on China strategy, DCBF encourages its members and all companies engaged in China business to attend ECCS 2025. In a time of rapid change, staying informed on China is a strategic advantage.
Info Meetings Do you want to learn more about what you can expect as a participant? Take the opportunity and dial in to one of CMG’s digital info event streams. Here you will also have the opportunity to submit any questions.
Date: 11th April, 2025 Time: 8:30-9:00am CEST Venue: Online (Zoom) Register HERE
Date: 25th April, 2025 Time: 8:30-9:00am CEST Venue: Online (Zoom)Register HERE |
