Annual Conference 2019

of the Institute for Applied Economic Law on Tuesday, 12 November 2019, from 9:30 to 17:30

China Investment Project

One of the central pillars of the Institute's public relations activities is the annual conference, which takes place regularly. Interesting speakers, current topics and sufficient time for discussion and networking give the event its typical character.

The Institute's current research project, the "China Investment Project" is financed as a third-party funded project by the NORDAKADEMIE Foundation and deals with German-Chinese investments. Takeovers of German companies by Chinese investors are regularly seen on the market. A disproportionately high number of such transactions fail before their completion or in the downstream implementation phase. The analysis of the different legal frameworks, the financing possibilities and the economic as well as cultural particularities seems promising when it comes to the question of how to make transactions more successful.
