The “Hamburg Summit”’s advisory board and speakers drawn from China and Europe’s business, political and academic spheres will provide valuable, multi-disciplinary insights. Delegates will have ample opportunity, both formal and informal, to pursue points raised in keynote speeches and panel discussions. This dynamic exchange of expertise and experience goes beyond simple declarations of co-operation to form real partnerships at the corporate, public and private level.
As Dr. Helmut Kohl, former Chancellor of Germany, special guest and keynote speaker of the ”Hamburg Summit” 2006, pointed out: “ This conference fits Hamburg, it fits Germany. (“Diese Tagung passt zu Hamburg, sie passt zu Deutschland“. Helmut Kohl, Hamburg 15.09.2006)“.
Thanks to the international acknowledgement achieved, the “Hamburg Summit: China meets Europe” has already established a tradition, which the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce intends to preserve. The next “Hamburg Summit” will be held in September 2010.
