Working Groups

Danish-Chinese Business Forum’s working groups consists of 5-10 member companies and are established on members’ request with the purpose to generate and benefit from network synergies in specific business areas and/or industries. The working groups are most often initiated by a member who will also chair the working group or in connection with Danish-Chinese Business Forum receiving Chinese delegations. 

The working groups engage in activities specifically directed at the focus area of the individual working group. These activities may comprise cooperation and dialog with Danish and/or Chinese authorities, reception of Chinese delegations, delegation visits/study trips to China, and other network activities directed at the various players in the field of the working groups.

Examples of working groups and their activities are:
