Event Details

Two important state elections in Bavaria and Hessen this October have brought even more discussion and questionmarks about Germany's grand coalition government and its way ahead. Apart from domestic issues like Dieselgate, coal phase-out or refugee policies, there are huge challenges on the international level, i.e. Brexit or US-Sino trade war, which have deep impacts on German Business. What's the perspective of German Industry on these topics, what is BDI's view on the technological rise of China?

Dr. Joachim Lang, Director General of the Federation of German Industries (BDI), is visiting Hong Kong on his way to the 16th Asian-Pacific Conference of German Business (APK), Jakarta. On this occasion German Chamber of Commerce would like to invite you to discuss the current political and business topics with Dr. Lang.

This event will be conducted in German.

Registration Deadline: Friday, 26th October 2018
