At the China-Germany (China-Europe) Hidden Champions Forum 2025 in Beijing, European business leaders showcased their commitment to deeper investment and collaboration in the Chinese mainland. The forum highlighted the strategic role of Hidden Champions – those highly successful yet under-the-radar small and medium-sized enterprises dominating niche markets globally.
With 2,734 such firms worldwide and over 1,300 based in Germany alone, these companies prove great feats can come from modest beginnings. This year’s event gathered more than 600 representatives, including top business executives, government officials, and industry experts all eager to drive international growth.
Walter Doring, chairman of the Senate of Economy Europe and head of the Hidden Champion Summit Organizing Committee, led a record delegation of over 150 companies, up from just 60 in 2024. His remark, "I think this shows everything," captured the forum’s spirit and the expanding opportunities for collaboration.
For young professionals, students, and adventurers alike, this vibrant exchange signals a promising future where cross-border cooperation sparks innovation and crafts new success stories. Keep an eye out, because these hidden champions are about to change the game! 🚀🌍
