Background & Objectives:
Chinese corporate groups with German subsidiaries face the challenge of integrating German and European regulatory requirements into their existing group structures—particularly with regard to HR data, financial data, and IT systems.

How data security and data protection are structured in Germany—including with regard to the use of AI tools. The importance of audit and control mechanisms, and where typical misunderstandings arise between Chinese and German expectations.

The webinar also focuses on:
•What documentation and evidence requirements are considered “state of the art” in Germany?
•What potential fines, liability, and market entry barriers must be considered?
•How do German expectations regarding transparency, traceability, and audit trails differ from common practices in China?
