Talk at the Library: Engaging with the Belt and Road
VIEW EVENT DETAILSAn Inside View at Siemens' BRI Strategy
China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) promises to enhance connectivity and trade around the world – and, with state-led investments in the billions, to create business opportunities for countries and companies alike. But how do these opportunities look like for a European company? What are the chances and risks of engaging with the Belt and Road and its projects? German multinational Siemens has been consciously developing its BRI strategy since 2017. Carsten Hasbach, Director for the BRI at Siemens, based in Beijing, joins Asia Society Switzerland for a discussion on how companies should think about the BRI, and what Siemens has learned in the last years.
