Opening Remarks: Bringing Together German Enterprises to Build Digital Bridges
At the opening ceremony, Mr. Zhu Haishan, General Manager of Yonyou Suzhou, delivered a welcome speech.
Mr. Zhu highlighted that Taicang has become a benchmark city for China-Germany economic cooperation. Over the past three decades, the city has attracted numerous European and German enterprises, building a mature ecosystem for China-Europe industrial collaboration.
As global supply chains continue to evolve and artificial intelligence rapidly integrates into every aspect of business operations, both Chinese enterprises expanding overseas and European companies operating in China face increasing challenges, including cross-regional organizational collaboration, multinational financial management, and overseas compliance management.

Through AI-powered digital intelligence, Yonyou aims to break down operational barriers between domestic and overseas businesses, promote deeper cooperation between Chinese and international companies, and achieve mutual growth and shared success.
Keynote Sessions: Empowering Global Expansion Through Digital Intelligence
The event featured three professional keynote sessions, where industry experts from Yonyou Europe and Yonyou Suzhou shared practical insights and global implementation experiences. The discussions focused on how AI-driven digital transformation can support overseas expansion and sustainable multinational operations.
01 Global Platform Sharing: Connecting Global Operations and Building a Foundation for Expansion
During the global business digitalization session, Mr. Neil Lin, General Manager of Yonyou Europe, delivered a keynote speech titled “Connecting Global Operations: Digital Solutions for Global Business.”
Drawing on years of experience serving enterprises in the European market, Mr. Lin analyzed common challenges faced by multinational companies, including fragmented management across overseas subsidiaries, inconsistent financial standards across countries, disconnected global supply chain data, and high costs associated with localized system adaptation.
He introduced Yonyou’s integrated digital solution based on a global business platform, which connects key business processes including finance, supply chain, manufacturing, and global procurement. Through unified digital infrastructure, enterprises can achieve real-time data synchronization between headquarters and overseas entities, while enabling centralized global management and control.
A unified digital foundation also provides the foundation for AI-powered intelligent applications. It helps Chinese enterprises rapidly establish overseas digital management systems while supporting European companies operating in China with multi-site and multi-entity operational management.
02 AI Operations Sharing: Intelligent Management Across Production and Supply Chains
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming integrated into enterprise management processes, serving as a key driver for efficiency improvement and business innovation.
Mr. Li Jiawei, Assistant General Manager of Yonyou Jiangsu Region and Director of Presales, delivered a keynote speech titled “AI-Powered Finance and Supply Chain: Building an Integrated Intelligent Operations System.”
Mr. Li emphasized that AI is no longer an additional digital tool, but a core capability supporting enterprises in large-scale global expansion, long-term cost optimization, and operational risk management.
For companies expanding internationally, challenges such as multilingual document processing, cross-regional inventory management, multinational financial consolidation, and business risk prediction can be significantly improved through AI capabilities. AI enables intelligent document recognition, automated operational alerts, and instant generation of global business reports.Through deep integration between ERP systems and AI technologies, enterprises can maximize existing business data without large-scale system reconstruction, simplify cross-border management processes, and enhance global operational efficiency through intelligent capabilities.

Ms. Wang Feifei, Presales Expert at Yonyou Europe, delivered a keynote speech titled “Challenges and Intelligent Solutions for Tax Compliance in Cross-Border Operations.”
Cross-border tax compliance is a critical foundation for sustainable international business operations.
Based on EU tax regulations and real-world multinational enterprise cases, Ms. Wang analyzed potential compliance risks in areas including cross-border fund flows, international data transfers, multi-country tax reporting, and local auditing requirements.
She introduced Yonyou Europe’s dedicated digital tax compliance solutions for multinational enterprises, which incorporate local tax regulations across different countries and combine AI-powered automated verification with end-to-end process traceability.
The solution helps enterprises manage overseas tax reporting, classify and protect cross-border data, and trace audit documentation, providing a strong compliance foundation for global operations through intelligent digital capabilities.
On-Site Exchange: Sharing Insights and Exploring Practical Paths
Following the keynote sessions, participants engaged in an open discussion session.
Representatives from German enterprises and manufacturing companies expanding overseas actively exchanged views on practical business challenges, including global integrated system implementation, AI applications in finance and supply chain management, European tax reporting processes, and cross-border data security.
Participants expressed that the exchange provided a clear understanding of how AI-driven digital transformation can support overseas expansion. They gained valuable insights into building global digital platforms and implementing intelligent cross-border financial management solutions.
