This subject will be a one of the highlights of 2017 Summit's first day program with panelists from Indonesia, Australia, USA, Hong Kong, Brazil and Thailand providing thought provoking insights. Over the past 8 years, the WCES has been held in Malaysia, China, Australia and United Kingdom and is an internationally recognized high-level platform for business, trade facilitation and investment and for building new partnerships and connections. The Island Shangri-La Hotel, Hong Kong will be venue for the two-day Summit that will commence Monday November 13 and conclude Tuesday November 14 with the final day devoted to two key roundtable events – - WCES Young Entrepreneurs Roundtable – that will bring together young entrepreneurs from China and the region to share experiences, discuss ideas and develop lifelong friendships and connections to assist and support them in their future commercial endeavours. This session also addresses the unique challenges of family businesses and how to successfully implement succession and exit strategies. - WCES Women Entrepreneurs Roundtable – is dedicated to promoting and developing the entrepreneurship skills of women with a program that facilitates networking and sharing experiences and lessons. Tan Sri Dato' Dr Michael Yeoh concluded, "With each Summit, the WCES has gone from strength to strength in achieving its goal of promoting bilateral trade engagement with China, bringing together the global Chinese diaspora and promoting entrepreneurship and innovation through business networking and sharing of knowledge and best practices". "Furthermore, the WCES has facilitated the forging of friendships and connections with dynamic individuals and entrepreneurs attending the Summit during the social and networking activities". "I am confident the 9th Summit that will be held in Hong Kong will bring a record number of delegates from around the globe to participate in a program of international speakers and China experts of the highest calibre providing visionary keynotes, insightful panel discussions and roundtables" ENDS Issued by Asian Strategy & Leadership Institute www.asli.com.my Media Enquiries: Mr. Joe Perri Joe Perri & Associates Pty Ltd Telephone/Fax: Mobile: +61 412 112 545 Email: jperri@ End
