Innovations from the Empire of the Middle

Disruptive China - What can we learn from China?

Learning from China - why, actually? 

So far, you've mainly looked to Silicon Valley for digital innovations? Then we'd like to show you that it's now increasingly worthwhile to look in the other direction: to China!

After all, many digital trends no longer originate in the USA, but in Asia. Many things that sound like the future to us are now part of everyday life there: 

  • Supermarkets with shopping carts that drive behind customers or show them the way to the merchandise
  • Online orders that are delivered in minutes instead of days, or by drone. 
  • AI systems that settle claims for insurance companies or make diagnoses in mobile e-health stations

We want to help you better understand these developments and explain what you can learn from them for your own work here - especially if you haven't had any contact with this country before and may never have.

Inspiration from the Empire of the Middle

We will deal with the following questions, among others:

  • The role of China: why is China relevant to me?
  • Digital innovation: Where is China more innovative than the West today? 
  • Strategies & Business Models: How are Chinese brands and startups planning? 
  • New Retail: How do you combine online and offline commerce for an optimal customer experience? 
  • Communication: what are the current trends among influencers / KOLs in China?

All this does not happen in a monotonous webinar, but in a new digital workshop format, with very small groups, lots of interaction and interesting discussion guests who share their very personal experiences.

Seminar format

This seminar is offered exclusively as an online workshop. The goal here is not a webinar with one-way communication, but truly collaborative and interactive work and discussion.

Included

  • Half-day online seminar
  • Certificate of Attendance
  • Access to the Tomorrow Academy Community
