Learn from industry leaders and innovators, explore how technology is shaping the future of healthcare and manufacturing, and discover inspiring ways to support healthier, lighter lives through innovation and well-being.

On November 13th, a day prior to World Diabetes Day (WDD) on Nov. 14, we invite you to join the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China (DCCC) for an exclusive factory tour of Novo Nordisk in Tianjin, a global leader in diabetes and obesity care. Gain insider access to one of Novo Nordisk's largest and most advanced strategic production sites, where innovation, artificial intelligence, and sustainability are shaping the future of healthcare and manufacturing. Learn directly from the company's AI visionaries how intelligent technologies are making operations smarter, enhancing quality and operational excellence, and helping deliver life-changing treatments to millions of people living with diabetes, obesity, and other serious chronic diseases around the world.

Beyond technology and manufacturing excellence, the visit also offers an opportunity to explore Novo Nordisk's commitment to improving public health and advancing innovative solutions that empower people to live healthier lives.

Right after the tour, you will be invited to join a joyful and easy dance session led by a professional dance instructor at the factory site. In the spirit of World Diabetes Day and Novo Nordisk's vision of helping people achieve a lighter and healthier life, we encourage participants to embrace an active lifestyle and explore how small, sustainable actions can support long-term well-being. Through movement, energy, and fun, we will celebrate the importance of proactively managing health and rediscovering balance in both body and mind.

Exercise improves not only physical health but also happiness and overall well-being. Staying healthy can sometimes feel serious or demanding, but this dance session demonstrates that being active can be enjoyable, social, and inspiring, regardless of the setting.

Following the dance, we will gather for a hyggeligt dinner to celebrate the traditional Danish Mortens Aften (St. Martin's Eve), a cherished November tradition when Danish families come together to enjoy roast duck. Naturally, duck will be served as part of the evening's celebration.
