There is no doubt by now that China is the leading economy in Asia, and possibly in the world soon. We have seen the first wave of digital giants from China such as Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent.
There remains many opportunities, with China's growing middle class. The ubiquitous TikTok is just one of the many examples of fast-rising companies.
The question is, do you have the right exposure, experience and skillset to capitalise on this opportunity?
Join us in this upcoming trip to Chongqing as we explore the digital economy landscape, understand the cultural and economic dynamics, and build connections.
You should consider this if you:
See the potential of the digital economy in Asia
Believe that China is, or will be, a permanent economy powerhouse in the coming decades
Want to explore the possibility of venturing into China, or furthering your career in China
Value a personal relationship with existing and potential business owners in China
Don't want to be just an onlooker in China's growth
What is the commitment, and what will I get in return?
For $880 (if you are a Singaporean/PR above 40 years old, or a Singaporean/PR, working in a SME and your company is paying for you) or $2,640 (if you do not meet the criteria stated earlier)*, you will:
Attend exclusive networking sessions with local business owners and government representatives
Visit to state-level sites and private enterprise offices, including a collaboration led by Alibaba
Attend a discussion on Alibaba's market-validation programmes and efforts
Experience and understand China's leading facial-recognition technology and its implementation, implications and economics
Learn about big data and AI in China
And of course, the most important though intangible aspect - the 关系 (guanxi).
