The event is jointly organised by German Chamber of Commerce in China (South & Southwest), German Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong and Guangzhou International Cooperation Center.
German companies in China have been localizing their operations for decades. This process was deepened by market and policy needs and further accelerated most recently by the rising geopolitical and global trade tensions: evolving from "In China, For China" to "In China, For the World".
This shifting landscape brings both challenges and opportunities. The dynamic, innovative Chinese market drives German firms to stay competitive, while their higher-quality localization is also creating significant value for Chinese enterprises and market in various regards.
To facilitate high-quality development of German and Chinese enterprises, the German Chamber will partner with Guangzhou International Cooperation Center to host an exchange meeting themed "German Companies' Localization 3.0" in Guangzhou this September. The event will bring together Sino-German business community in GBA to share localization practices, discuss corporate strategies amid complex landscapes, showcase Sino-German collaboration cases, and explore win-win opportunities.

- Report Interpretation: Sharing insights about our Localization 3.0 research, how German companies in China are transforming their localization strategies, and the related challenges and opportunities
