AI and China: Speed as a Superpower – Swedish Chambers APAC Online Event 23 April

On 23 April 2026, the SACC welcomed members and guests to the Swedish Chambers APAC online event “AI and China: Speed as a Superpower”, featuring Folke Engholm, Founder and CEO of Viral Access.

Drawing on more than two decades of experience in China and over twelve years based in Shenzhen, Folke shared valuable insights into how China’s rapid adoption of artificial intelligence is transforming the way businesses innovate, develop products and bring solutions to market. He highlighted how AI has become deeply embedded across organisations, enabling faster decision-making, shorter innovation cycles and organisation-wide transformation.

The session explored the key differences between AI adoption in China and many Western markets, emphasising the importance for businesses to move beyond experimentation and begin integrating AI into everyday operations to remain competitive. Participants also gained practical perspectives on emerging trends, commercial applications and what organisations can learn from China’s pace of innovation.

Thank you to Folke Engholm for sharing his expertise and to everyone who joined this insightful discussion.
