The Event

China’s economy is at a new crossroad. Its efforts to transition from a manufacturing-based, export-led economic model to a domestic-consumption and service-driven economy have met with significant headwinds. The real economy has slowed and vast liquidity has been siphoned into real estate sector, leading to a heated debate of whether a real estate bubble is brewing. In 2017, against this macro backdrop, what do investors see as the latest trends for investment opportunities, what are the sectors that will drive long-term investment returns, and what are the key challenges investors face today?

We’ve put together a panel of veterans in Venture Capital/Private Equity to share their thoughts on investment and hot topics. Come armed with questions for the panelists.

LANGUAGE

The language of the event will be Chinese.
