Asia Society Hong Kong Center is proud to act as a co-organizer for the 2025 China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) Innovation Forum - China Amidst Global Trade Upheaval: Growth & Innovation Opportunities in the Greater Bay Area.

Co-organized with Hong Kong Cyberport, the CEIBS Alumni Hong Kong Chapter, CEIBS Shenzhen Campus, the Hong Kong Chinese Enterprises Association, Asia Society Hong Kong Center and Caixin Insight, this program is complimentary for ASHK Members.

The global economic order is being reshaped. Seismic changes in international trade led by the United States and rapid technological development are posing urgent questions for nations of all sizes, particularly China. Can China come out ahead amidst a US-China trade war? Can it spur renewed domestic economic growth? Can China's enterprises capitalize on their recent successes in artificial intelligence and global expansion?

The answers to these questions are pivotal for Hong Kong. For decades, the city has served as both Asia's financial hub and a vital gateway into China. Yet, as global and regional dynamics shift, its future trajectory is far from certain. What remains clear is that Hong Kong's prospects are closely intertwined with developments in China overall. From innovation-driven industries and advances in cutting-edge technology to new growth strategies in the face of economic headwinds, the forces shaping China's economy will have profound implications for Hong Kong's role on the world stage.

What will Hong Kong's place be in this new global era? How can it leverage its unique strengths to secure long-term growth and resilience? Can further integration into the Greater Bay Area, and China's rapidly advancing technology industries, drive new development for the city?

Join us at this exclusive forum hosted by CEIBS, where thought leaders from business, government, and academia will offer insights into the challenges and opportunities ahead - and chart a course for Hong Kong's future in an increasingly uncertain world.
