Partnering & Networking in Shanghai – Even Now!

PTL Group PTL Group 2021-09-17

After a long time spent apart, quarantining and social distancing, we were extremely excited to be able to re-gather in PTL Group’s Shanghai HQ and host our 7th Partners’ Network Event.

The Network

The Partners’ Network and its gatherings were established in light of the growing pool of service providers accumulated over the years. The idea behind it was to facilitate connections among international executives active in the Chinese market, and provide valuable mutual support. This year, against the backdrop of the coronavirus, the meeting gained newfound importance, as the need to cultivate the business community was felt throughout the crisis.

It wasn’t easy to summarize this whole overwhelming meeting to 3 minutes, but here is a glimpse to the event’s highlights.

The contents

PTL Group’s GM, Arie Schreier, addressed the major challenges currently faced by foreign companies in China, and presented an operational model for reducing expenditures in times of crisis, accompanied by a case study of an American company.

Stephane Wilmet, Loreal China’s Chief Consumer Officer, gave a fascinating presentation on consumer behavior and trends in China that have been accelerated as a result of the corona outbreak.
