The 2018 Forum will be held over two days commencing Friday November 9 at the Palace of the Golden Horses hotel, Kuala Lumpur. The theme for the 2018 WCEF is Towards a common future: Enhancing new opportunities in a changing world. Commenting further Tan Sri Dato' Dr Michael Yeoh said, "The WCEF is an international flagship event that also provides a platform and bridge for strengthening and building connectivity and business linkages between Asia Pacific, Europe and China". In addition, the Forum promotes global and regional dialogue on the emergence of China as the world's second largest economy. It also brings together the global Chinese diaspora and promotes entrepreneurship and innovation through business networking and sharing of knowledge and best practices. A key topic on the agenda of the 2018 WCEF is China's dynamic digital economy. China is one of the world's largest investors and adaptors of digital technologies and the nation's economy is far more 'digitized' than many uninformed observers appreciate said Tan Sri Dato' Dr Michael Yeoh. "China's digital transformation is already having a profound impact on its own economy and home market consumers have demonstrated an eagerness to embrace all forms of digital offerings. In addition, China has the scale to drive rapid commercialization of digital and internet business models as demonstrated by giant global enterprises Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent", continued Tan Sri Dato' Dr Michael Yeoh. "China's national government proactively encourages digital innovation and entrepreneurship and as well as providing a profound benefit to its own economy is having an increasing influence on the global digital landscape." What are the opportunities to capitalise on China's digital leadership and how can international businesses participate in this sector will be among the many topics covered in this session. Tan Sri Dato' Dr Michael Yeoh concluded, "The countries of the Asia Pacific region and China share a strong and rapidly escalating economic relationship that through further strengthening and deepening will deliver sustained trade and mutually beneficial long-term economic prosperity." "The 2018 World Chinese Economic Forum in Kuala Lumpur is a significant event and an opportunity to shape future economic and political agendas with China through the exchange of views, information, experience, expertise and insights that will provide a foundation to boost future growth and bi lateral trade prospects".
