Mr Nylander frequently gives speeches about Shenzhen and Chinese business and tech trends. He’s been speaking at events for international banks and consumer brands, such as JP Morgan and Calvin Klein, as well as the European Chambers of Commerce, Asia Society, the Rotary Club, etc, in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, Taiwan and – naturally – Shenzhen.
“At my first visit to Shanghai/China I was lucky to listen to a presentation by Johan Nylander. It was A WAKE UP CALL!! Could observe how naive I have been about how advanced a society China has turne into. Went directly home and ordered Nylander´s book for family, friends and clients.”
Niels Jacobsgaard, Managing Director of Jacobsgaard Investment Advisory and multiple Board Member
“I really enjoyed our discussions and Mr Nylander’s insights into business and tech trends in China and Shenzhen. Many times in the past years we’ve travelled to Silicon Valley for inspiration, but this year we wanted to understand the way forward in China and Asia. Johan Nylander is an excellent source of eye-opening ‘aha!' moments. Highly recommended."

“What sets this book apart from the dozens of research reports from professional services firms readily available on the web is its reportage. Swedish-born Nylander has a knack for unearthing the quirky side of life. At home among the misfits as he is comfortable rubbing shoulders with CEOs, the picture that emerges is more nuanced. Grounded in the gutter but with views from the c-suite too, this book is as entertaining as it is informative.”
