Stiftelsen Teknikdalen – Ideas into business, in the Swedish province of Dalarna recently held China seminars in tree cities to present the world’s largest economy as the land of opportunity and a trendsetter.
It is in China where innovation, trends and future growth occurs, thus it is very interesting for Swedish companies to build relationships in China for international expansion or simply to shift gear. In China one does business through relationships and therefore the Teknikdalen Foundation has previously coordinated trips to China to increase the knowledge, network and to seek business opportunities.
The 1-3 February seminars, held in the citites of Gävle, Borlänge, and Mora, included inspirational speakers who are well versed in the art of doing business, in order entrepreneurs in Sweden to get both inspiration and knowledge of the Chinese market.
