The HKU Business School Alumni Association (HKUBSAA) recently hosted a successful event titled “The Insight Forum: Global Dynamics and Emerging Opportunities in 2024,” supported by the HKU Business School. Over 80 alumni and guests gathered for an insightful knowledge exchange session.

The event began with a keynote presentation by Prof. Yang LIU, Associate Professor at HKU Business School, who shared his expertise on international trade and investment trends shaping the 2024 global economy and the Hong Kong linked exchange rate system. The presentation shed light on various aspects such as China’s slower economic growth, geopolitical risks, foreign direct investment flows, and the advantages and challenges of the linked exchange rate system in Hong Kong.

Following the keynote presentation, a Fireside Chat focused on Investing Opportunities in the Middle East Market, featuring industry experts and alumni who discussed the potential investment opportunities and challenges in the rapidly growing Middle Eastern market.

HKU Business School is dedicated to maintaining a strong bond within the alumni community and fostering continuous learning and networking opportunities.

We were honored to host the distinguished Dr. Weijian Shan for a captivating “Meet the Author” book talk last Friday evening. Dr. Shan discussed his latest book, “Money Machine – A Trailblazing American Venture in China”, which provides an intriguing insider’s perspective on one of the region’s most significant private equity deals. His other well-received previous books include “Out of Gobi: My Story of China and America” and “Money Games: The Inside Story of How American Dealmakers Saved Korea’s Most Iconic Bank”.

Dr. Shan, who transformed from a barefoot doctor in the Gobi during the Cultural Revolution to a world-leading private equity titan, delivered an enlightening presentation. He was also a former professor at Wharton School. The event featured a captivating fireside chat moderated by our Dean, Professor Hongbin Cai. It was particularly exciting to see the attendance of numerous Wharton alumni, who had the opportunity to connect with our own students and graduates. We eagerly await to hear what’s in store for Dr. Shan’s next chapter.

Thanks to HKU Business School Alumni Association and HKU iCube for organizing the event, as well as the support from the Wharton Club of Hong Kong.
