Resilience, Innovation, AI… What If We Learned From Chinese Companies?

JUMP TO SPEAKERS

About

-How did China come to lead 69 of the world's 74 critical technologies? (ASPI – Critical Technology Tracker 2026)?

-How does a Chinese company develop a vehicle twice as fast as a Western one and a robot ten times faster?

-How do global leaders like Haier and Huawei reconfigure their value chains in near real time?

Chinese companies are both key suppliers and fierce competitors.

In this webinar, Dr Natacha Tréhan decodes the mechanisms behind the success of Chinese companies. In her view, state subsidies don't explain everything. The objective: understand, in order to take back control of our procurement and our value chains.

You will also hear Ivalua's perspective on agentic AI transformation as a lever to regain control of procurement and supply chain.
