Event Details

Join the World Affairs Council of Charlotte on Tuesday, Nov. 4 for an insightful CEO Series luncheon featuring Jörg Wuttke, one of the world’s foremost experts on doing business in China. With decades of executive leadership and policy experience in Asia, Wuttke brings unmatched insight into the evolving risks and realities of operating in the world’s second-largest economy.

As geopolitical tensions rise and populist policies take hold across borders, multinational corporations face growing uncertainty about their future in China. In this timely and thought-provoking presentation, Wuttke will explore key questions that global business leaders must confront:

• Is China still a viable long-term investment destination?
• How are trade barriers, political rhetoric, and nationalist sentiment reshaping the business environment?
• What are the strategic options for Western companies navigating the shifting landscape of U.S.-China relations?

Drawing on his experience as former CEO of BASF China and President of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, Wuttke will offer firsthand perspectives on navigating regulatory pressure, protecting intellectual property, and maintaining resilience in one of the most complex markets in the world.

There are a limited number of seats available for each event, so request a seat only if you are able and willing to commit to attend the full event. Professional dress is required.
