Get an intro to Digital China - remote keynotes & workshops.
Disruptive China ?
Why China?
We want to inspire you - with remote keynotes and workshops - to follow what is going on in Digital China right now. Even if you currently have no business there, China's digital trends & innovation are probably much more relevant than you think.
asymmetric ignorance
We in the West often live in a state of asymmetric ignorance when it comes to China: Chinese companies are usually very well informed about their Western counterparts, while we don't even realize that we should be interested in them, too.
We always thought China is copying from us. But what they were often really doing was learning - finding out what works well here and built on that. Why shouldn’t we start doing the same?
“Chinese know everything about us - we don't know anything about them!”
And where better to find digital inspiration than in cities with giant 3D LED screens on top of malls or restaurants entirely operated by robots?
What can I find in China?
Most workshops on China focus on how to sell to the Chinese market. We look in the other direction telling you what to learn from China and how to use it in Western markets.
No matter whether you are the CEO of a startup, an executive at a large corporation, or in charge of product design, marketing, or company strategy - we promise you will find relevant strategies & tactics by studying cases from Digital China:
Innovative platform-models from companies like Alibaba that dwarf even Amazon and deliver online-orders often within minutes - sometimes already using drones.
“New Retail” concepts featuring Supermarkets with autonomous shopping carts and 3D printers that print your photo onto your to-go coffee.
"AI-Doctors" in phone-booth like "micro clinics".
Successful multi-dimensional business-models, like Meituan - the Amazon for services.
Influencers using live streaming to generate millions in sales with products that get produced after being sold and arrive at the customer in under a week.
All this is not science fiction or demoware, but the everyday reality in cities like Shanghai or Shenzhen. What can you find there? A very different kind of thinking, compelling business models, and many exciting sources of digital inspiration.

If you have never asked yourself what you can learn from Digital China, now might be a good time to start doing so.
Results, not Webinars.
Real Results for your Business.
Our goal is not to just explain the latest trends in China but also to identify real-world applications for your business here. In small groups, we work hands-on on questions like:
How can startups successfully apply Chinese-style ecosystem thinking in a their business models?
How can retailers use New Retail strategies to make online & offline channels work together more effectively?
How can marketers use live streaming and dialogue to drive sales?
No Webinars! We promise… ;-)
Instead of often dull webinars, we offer tailor-made remote formats with lots of interaction. You choose what works best for you:
Virtual keynote: 30 - 90 minutes remote presentation & discussion on a specific topic for either public or closed events.
In-house Workshop: individually arranged workshops to work on a pre-defined set of questions in a closed group of participants.
Open Workshop: regular remote workshops, open for anyone interested, e.g. the online workshop on “Digital China” which we offer once a month together with our partner - the Tomorrow Academy (currently German only).
