Within the growing renewable energy market, production is increasingly moving offshore, both in a move to capture better and more abundant energy resources as well as for social and logistical reasons. Half of the world’s population lives within 60 km from the coastline, making it a natural match for energy supply and demand. Demand for new-build and converted FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) vessels and FLNG (Floating Liquid Natural Gas) facilities have increased due to the declining rate of new onshore oil discoveries to historic low levels and also from technology that enables efficient deepwater oil exploration in unprecedented ocean depths.

The decoupling of the U.S. and Chinese economies is one of the headline risks in U.S.-China relations nowadays. The Trump administration has actively pursued an agenda to bring U.S. manufacturing back to America and separate technology supply chains. At the same time, China is also moving to decouple its technology industry. The Belt & Road Initiative combined with the rise of the digital renminbi will make it even easier for China to grow its exports in other countries.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is pleased to welcome Dan Wang, Technology Analyst at Gavekal Dragonomics to decipher the impact of US-China tech decoupling for business. Dan will speak about US regulatory actions around inbound investment and export controls and how they've affected Chinese technology firms, especially Huawei. This session will take place in-person at the Shanghai office of the European Chamber, lunch boxes will be provided to participants.
