Dear Friends of the Chamber!

A typhoon is about to land on our great city just in time for the National Day Celebrations! I hope you and your loved ones will be safe – preferably on a beach somewhere far from Shanghai.

We are now just short of a month away from our own celebrations, the DCCC Business Person of the Year Gala Ball, on October 22.

This Monday, I personally went to Kempinski to approve the menu for our ball – It will be a delicious smoked duck breast with butternut squash soup for starter and a succulent beef tenderloin with pumkin napoleon and gingerbread jus for the main.

I make a point of telling you about the menu because that is what you will be paying for when you buy a ticket to the gala. Our party budgeting system is very simple – we pass on the per person food expense from the hotel as the ticket price, everything else is paid by our generous sponsors – this include the band, the MC’s, the entertainment – and yes, the free flow of wine is actually free!

So please give a big hand to our sponsors, who this year have been more generous than ever!

Already more than 120 people have bought tickets, but don’t worry – we have room for you still. Hit the reply button right now and tell us you are coming!

Are you hoping that one day it will be you up there on the stage? Why not take a shortcut and learn from the best. Join our event “My Five Biggest Mistakes and What I Wish I Knew Then” on October 11 with the last year’s Entrepreneur of the Year, Nikolaj Schnoor.

Wish you a great holiday and hope to see you on October 11 and 22!

Emil Hauch Jensen
Chairman of the Board, DCCC Shanghai Chapter

Second generation of Danish majors graduate from Beijing Foreign Studies University
Tuesday 28 June, 15 Chinese students at Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) graduated in Danish language studies. The students are the second generation to graduate in Danish studies from BFSU.
The 15 students have studied Danish for four years and have all spent one year in Denmark to improve their language skills. The university began teaching Danish in 2008 and since then, only one class has graduated in Danish language studies before this year’s class. On 28 June, they were congratulated at a big ceremony with more than 1.000 other graduates. The Royal Danish Embassy in Beijing was represented at the ceremony by First Secretary Jacob Bay Lindkvist.
Most of the 15 graduates in Danish language studies have already secured their first jobs in Denmark or in Danish companies in China, e.g. at the Chinese Embassy in Copenhagen and Novozymes in Beijing. Some of the graduates will soon travel to Denmark to continue studies in Denmark’s two largest cities, Copenhagen and Aarhus. The third generation of Danish majors will be enrolled in BFSU this fall. This time the class will consist of 20 students, which is a new record.Danish Foreign Minister participate in biannual ASEM-summit

During the full-day event, visitors were offered smoked cod imported from Denmark with natural Nordic herbs, and Danish classical apple crumble, with a modern twist of apple wine from Cold Hand Winery in Denmark.

Danskerlisten giver Udenrigsministeriet mulighed for at kontakte danskere i udlandet i en krisesituation.

Det er frivilligt, om man som dansker ønsker at registrere sig.
Danskerlisten kan bruges ved både korte rejser og længerevarende ophold i udlandet. Det nye system minder automatisk brugeren om at opdatere sine oplysninger senest 12 måneder efter sidste logon.
Du får adgang til Danskerlisten via et selvvalgt ID og password eller NemID.
