Dear Working Group Members,

After a busy 2018, when we have tackled the new talent (R) visa and the updated Foreigner’s Work Permit policies, equality in the workplace, the new Individual Income Tax Law and internship visa policies, among other topics, the Human Resources Working Group is delighted to invite you to the first WG meeting of the new year, which will take place on Friday, 22nd March 2019, from 14:00 to 16:00. During this kick-off meeting, we will review the past activity of the WG, as well as discuss about WG priorities in 2019. Members are encouraged to join the discussion and provide input on the WG’s 2019 activity, advocacy and Position Paper priorities (see attached 2018/2019 Position Paper).

With this occasion, the 2019 Human Resources Working Group Chair election will be held. The Chair and Vice Chairs play a crucial role in driving the WG, having a leadership role in the drafting of the Position Paper, communicating key messages to Chinese and European government authorities and coordinating WG meetings and other activities.

Corporate venture capital (CVC) differs from independent venture capital (VC) in several ways when it comes to how it nurtures innovation in new firms and what metrics a CVC fund regards as important. Whereas the objective of a common VC fund may simply be to get an attractive financial return, CVC funds are generally more focused on the strategic fit of any potential investment with their companies’ own strategic orientation.

At the European Chamber’s Corporate Venture Capital Conference 2019, managers of CVC funds, advisers and academics will talk about what makes a CVC unit successful, what deals these units are looking at in their respective sectors – information technology and life sciences, among others – and what they think about this sector’s potential in China.

In order to achieve a better global control and higher transparency on how the business unit is performing in the local market, overseas companies decide on global ERP technology integration. However, due to the specific market requirements, driving change across different business processes can be a big challenge for many companies in China. In addition to the external rules, there are other factors that add up to the complexity of the process. A great understanding of the local ´know – how´ in addition to a team able to integrate with and relate to different culture are essential to respond to the rapid changing business needs and ensure a successful digital transformation.
