In an era of rapid technological disruption and shifting global economic dynamics, organisations face unprecedented challenges. Data shows that GenAI has emerged as a critical business differentiator – 77% of global executives believe it will drive revenue growth or operational efficiency (Accenture, 2024). Meanwhile, smart manufacturing demands a skilled workforce. For German multinationals, localisation is also a key procedure. Blending global expertise with local talent strategies is critical to competitiveness, especially in China.
At the 9th HR Forum, we will explore these critical themes with industry pioneers: AI in HR, developing and retaining a skilled workforce, balancing globalisation and localisation, as well as best practices from senior HR experts.
Additionally, the 18th Labour Market and Salary Survey Report 2025/2026 by the German Chamber of Commerce in China will be unveiled, offering key insights into Shenzhen's regional and national trends.
Event Highlights:
- Labour Market and Salary Report Presentation 2025/2026: Analysis of wage dynamics, talent mobility, demand shifts, and regional disparities
- AI in HR: Transforming talent management through artificial intelligence
- Develop & Retain a Skilled Workforce: Bridging the skills gap for Industry 4.0
