As global supply chains become increasingly complex and geopolitical uncertainties continue to impact business decisions, more companies are exploring "China+1" strategies to diversify their manufacturing and operational footprints. With growing interest in alternative markets such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and India, understanding how to strategically set up operations while managing risk has never been more crucial.

To support businesses in navigating this evolving landscape, SwissCham Shanghai is delighted to invite CEOs, Managing Directors, and senior executives from Swiss manufacturing companies operating in China to our upcoming monthly breakfast meeting. The event will take place on Tuesday, July 1st, at The Weave, and is proudly sponsored by Pain Chaud. The session will feature an expert talk by Bjarne Bauer, Managing Partner at NAI Sofia Group Shanghai, who will share valuable insights drawn from both successful practices and cautionary tales of companies that have expanded into new markets across Asia.

Event Highlights:

• 🔍 Expert Insights: Gain perspectives on strategic location planning, balancing long-term investment with operational flexibility, managing cross-border risks, leveraging local market strengths, and maintaining agility through alternative scenarios — all based on real-world experiences from companies expanding across Asia.
