14:20-15:10, Panel discussion 1: Is now the right time to bullish on Chinese stocks??

Chinese big tech stocks suffered a lot in 2021. Will this misery continue, or will share prices recover and reach new heights in 2022? Some say the regulatory crackdown is far from over, while others are convinced that Chinese stocks will surge to create a stable and prosperous backdrop to the 20th Party Congress in November next year. Panelists from securities companies, hedge funds, PE/VC firms, and financial media will discuss their outlooks.?

15:10-15:20, Coffee break

15:20-16:10, Panel discussion 2: ESG in China - Renewables and disclosure challenges

ESG investments in China are becoming increasingly important as the country aims to peak its carbon emissions by 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2060. More and more public companies are publishing ESG reports, but the information disclosures still lag behind some of their Western counterparts. As China’s financial landscape opens to international institutional investors, ESG considerations and green technology investments will play a crucial role in investment strategies going forward.?

16:10-17:00, Panel discussion 3: What sectors should VCs be watching for the next batch of Chinese unicorns?

In the past ten years, China generated the second most unicorns in the world, in areas like e-commerce, electric vehicles, new consumption, and AI. Now Chinese technology is pushing into a so-called new era for the digital economy called “Zhuan Jing Te Xin”. This includes frontier innovations like blockchain and metaverse applications, which are growing in popularity in China. So which sectors will produce the next generation unicorns? Panelists from startups, VC companies, technology scholars, and industry media will share their thoughts.?

17:00-17:30, Free communication time

Benefit from unique networking opportunities by connecting with other attendees at the event, most of which are financial or technology professionals from notable firms.

Do not miss the opportunity to know more about China, the incoming largest economy and innovation center in the world. You like it or not, the wise choice would be preparing for the trend from now on.
