Who owns China’s tech titans?

November 7 | 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. ET | Online

Sign up for this webinar where our expert panelists will guide you through the complex web of ownership, due diligence, and investment strategies in the Chinese tech realm.

From Bytedance to Huawei and the Belt & Road to semiconductor fabrication plants, Chinese companies have been at the center of regulatory risk for many years, and it’s getting more intense by the day. Yet working with China as a supplier or customer (or both) remains an absolute necessity in certain areas such as clean energy, complex manufacturing, and commodity markets.

Join us for a one-hour webinar during which we’ll show you exactly how to verify the ownership, executives, and legal histories of Chinese technology companies so that your organization can make more informed decisions about its China exposure.

Submit your registration below and you’ll receive a conformation email with the information from zoom. See you there!
