This event is designed to cover both legal and practical aspects of forming a partnership, show you ways to protect yours and your business interests, and drive a successful business where all parties become winners.
Our speakers will cover the concept of restricted industries where foreigners are prohibited from getting a license without a local partner such as in the education industry, certain internet-related businesses, and others, which forces companies to find local partners, or find people who will represent the license ownership. They will also cover best case scenarios, and some of the general dos and don’ts in forming a local partnership regardless of whether or not you are in the restricted industries.
Our panel members will then share and reflect their experiences in working on various cases – as a lawyer, as a consultant, as a MNC executive, as an entrepreneur in the restricted industry or as an investment advisor. Entrepreneurs looking for a local co-founder or a local CEO/COO type position will also find this event relevant.

- Chinese legal framework on restricted industries
- Various legal ways of coping with such restrictions
- Practical tips on how to go about finding and forming such partnerships
