ABOUT THE FORUM

The speed, breadth and scope of the changes occurring in every facet of China’s economic, business, societal, political life are creating an increasingly complex and sometimes puzzling picture in which contradictions abound, and about which today’s conventional wisdom can fast become obsolete.

The lack of relevant holistic approach to - and integrated knowledge of - China’s fast-changing realities continues to lead to many damaging and costly mistakes, frictions and disappointments in dealing with China.

The FutureChina Global Forum is the only Forum going beyond the usual discussions on China’s economy evolution, or on what is happening among the different government circles in Beijing, to provide genuine insights on how China is evolving, what are the various drivers of change and how they interact on one another.

FORMAT OF DISCUSSION

The formats of discussions, as well as the layout of the venue of the meeting are designed to promote genuine, candid, discussions and a high level of interaction, using all the resources of IT to capture key insights and outcomes.

Different formats for discussions will be used to maximize interaction and to generate outcomes, according to the topic addressed:

  • Brainstorming sessions carefully prepared in advance and moderated to ensure focused interactions engaging the participants in a process leading to genuine take-home value.
  • Update/briefing sessions on business, societal, technology and geopolitical developments with an impact on business. The first part of the session focuses on the analysis of the new development/trend; the second part on the “so what?” implications for businesses.
  • Debates confronting analyses and perceptions on some developments happening in China and what they bode for the future with respect to domestic or international orientations.
  • Panel discussions to bring together different approaches and perspectives on one specific topic or issue so that participants can get – as an outcome – some form of an integrated notion and perspective on the topic.
