Every year, one of our ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA offices in China hosts this top-level event in one of China’s major cities. The event is supported by go-international, a joint initiative of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Economy, Energy and Tourism and the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber.
The next AUSTRIA CONNECT China will take place May 17 - 19, 2026, in the vibrant metropolis of Shanghai, China’s economic powerhouse and hub for many foreign-invested firms. This year’s conference motto “Strategic Choices: Enhancing your competitive edge in China” addresses the critical challenges of rising competition and localization pressures that many companies are facing. Amidst geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties, our expert keynotes and panel discussions will explore how foreign-invested companies can strengthen their competitive advantages in China.
