Chūnqiū Dinner No. 1 — Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten, Hamburg, May 2026
OMR panel: Made in China is the new Made in Germany
A candid conversation at the table
Our first dinner took place at Hamburg's Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten — the 'Four Seasons'. In Chinese, 春秋 (spring and autumn) stands for the passing of the seasons, and for one of the great eras of Chinese history. The name stayed. So did the idea: the best market entry advice doesn't come from consultants' slides — it comes from people who have already done it, at a table where everyone speaks openly.

Here, for the first time, Europe stopped feeling like a wall — it felt like a dinner table.
