BizInsight Forum and Alumni Get-together in Shenzhen: Rewiring the Global Economy 重塑全球經濟:駕馭新變局


BizInsight Forum and Alumni Get-together in Shenzhen


As geopolitical tensions continue to surge, the world economy is undergoing a period of significant transformations, with shifting geoeconomic trends, and changing business environments across industries. It becomes increasingly important for businesses to understand the paradigm shifts in worldwide trade as well as how to tackle the challenges, grasp opportunities, mitigate risks and build resilience.

The HKUST Business School BizInsight Forum in Shenzhen is set to address these issues, leveraging the profound expertise and experience of renowned industry experts, prominent alumni, and distinguished professors. Whether it is in the sphere of supply chain, fintech, banking or AI, those businesses who can recognize the major trends and integrate the geoeconomic factors into their operations will find new niche markets and gain a competitive edge in this rewired global landscape.

The forum will be followed by an alumni dinner, providing an extended platform for participants to foster connections with fellow alumni and faculty members, exchange professional experiences, and keep abreast of the latest developments of your alma mater.
