In the evolving business landscape of China, staying informed about regulatory changes is crucial. We are delighted to invite you to a seminar on the latest developments in China's cybersecurity and data protection regulations. Since the introduction of the Cybersecurity Law in 2017, China has frequently updated its data protection laws, aiming to enhance protection while easing the compliance burden on companies. Regardless of the shifting legal landscape, it is crucial for all companies operating in China to comply with local regulations, especially when handling data.
To provide you with the essential information you need, we are honored to have Bård B. Bjerken and Sherry Qiu from the law firm Wikborg Rein as our speakers. They will guide you through the current status of cybersecurity regulations in China, including:
- Key compliance obligations
- What is new in 2024 – eased requirements for common cross-border data flows
- Practical implications for Norwegian businesses in China
- Compliance developments and trends
This seminar is an excellent opportunity for you to gain valuable insights into the regulatory environment and ensure your business remains compliant with the latest requirements.
Following the presentations, we will also invite you to join us for an after-summer BBQ. This will be a relaxed and informal setting to continue discussions, network further, and enjoy some delicious food and drinks.
