Yesterday SEB and Nordic Match hosted the second Nordic CEO Dinner, bringing together leading Nordic CEOs in China for a closed door executive dialogue.

With the theme ”China Lab”,  Karen Liu from IKEA kicked-off the dinner with a keynote speech, sharing her experience on the radically new IKEA retail experience at the recently opened IKEA Xuhui store in Shanghai.

The dinner brought together leading Nordic CEOs across industries to discuss strategic agendas and to share experiences on innovation in China.

Tony Wang, Partner at Nordic Match, said:

The Nordic CEO Dinner has quickly become a tradition valued by our Nordic community, where we offer a forum to share thoughts, ideas and reflections. As China is becoming The market for many Nordic companies, I can only agree with Karen´s quote on IKEAs commitment in China – “Go big or go home”.

Thank you Karen, all the guests who made the dinner interesting through lively discussions, and for the co-hosts Thilo L.Zimmermann and for Ramon Wu such a well organized event.
