When Simon Lichtenberg first arrived in China in the early 1990s, he never imagined his journey would span three decades – or that he’d one day write a letter to Chinese President Xi Jinping declaring, 'Choosing China is choosing the future.' 📈✉️
The Danish entrepreneur, founding chairman of the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, recently stole the spotlight at the Global Civilizations Dialogue’s ministerial meeting. During a 'Story Sharing' session, Lichtenberg revealed how cultural exchange transformed his career: 'Dialogue isn’t just about words – it’s about building bridges where others see walls.' 🌉
From 🇩🇰 to 🇨🇳: A Blueprint for Success
Lichtenberg’s story reads like a masterclass in cross-cultural entrepreneurship:
- ⚡️ Pioneered sustainable business practices before 'ESG' was trending
- 🤝 Bridged Nordic and Chinese corporate cultures through the Chamber of Commerce
- 💡 Championed youth mentorship programs across 12 Chinese cities
His message to young global innovators? 'China’s market isn’t just massive – it’s a laboratory for the future.' 🔬 From AI startups to green tech, Lichtenberg sees endless potential for those willing to engage authentically.
