Hosted Event
FT - Paul Hastings Series Tomorrow's Global Business Series: China's Champions in the New Global Economy
Wednesday, June 22 09:00 AM CST to 11:45 AM CST
全球商业的划时代机遇
Chinese companies are emerging as global innovators and disruptors, using technology, capital and a strong entrepreneurial appetite to leapfrog more established rivals in international markets. These new leaders are not only changing traditional models of commerce, consumption and communication; they are challenging our understanding of what global business may look like in the future.
Notwithstanding recent market volatility, many of these global champions are continuing to pursue opportunities to expand brand assets and intellectual property abroad. And they are now being followed by new entrants that are securing funding and scaling their businesses to provide high quality, innovative products and services more efficiently and with far less capital investment.
But China itself is changing in a dramatic way. The economy is slowing down and shifting from an export-oriented industrial model to a consumer-focused domestic one. How will this shift, currently accompanied by a devaluation of the renminbi, affect the global ambitions and competitiveness of China’s innovators and disruptors, both incumbent and incoming?
This fascinating juncture in China’s evolving role in the new global economy, and its impact on business models and investment, will be the focus of the third in a series of strategic forums being organized around the world by Paul Hastings and the Financial Times, looking at Tomorrow’s Global Business.
