China Entrepreneur Forum - Call for Entrepreneurship towards a Better Future - aims at bringing together people from different fields to think critically and creatively about current financial crisis and how to survive the crisis by thriving in China.
The forum will share information and initiate discussions on timing, opportunities, policies and procedures of developing business in China.

We hope the forum will generate exciting ideas and promising projects on investing in China. The forum theme this year is “Call for Entrepreneurship Towards a Better Future”. Entrepreneurship is seen as the key driver to innovate and re-create value for developing economies such as China. Therefore, the forum will be focused on both the overall business environment and step-by-step practical guidance to doing business in China.

Speakers from distinguished universities and corporations are invited to share their knowledge and understanding about the recent financial crisis, and their personal experiences on how to successfully start a US business in China. Panel discussions will be held after keynote speeches for more in-depth dialogue on specific topics.
We believe the event will create a significant impact to the university and local businesses and China-related entrepreneurs and businesses.
