THE 8th TRANSPACIFIC ENTREPRENEURIAL CONFERENCE
The Roadmap to...
Despite recent disruptions, the need to generate sustainable growth and expansion still remains.
The 8th Transpacific Entrepreneurial conference will discuss the current opportunities for companies looking to expand into Canada and Greater China as well as the impact and possibilities the latest Greater Bay Area Initiatives would bring to Hong Kong. It will also show “the roadmaps” to using Hong Kong as a platform for entrepreneurial ventures “from seed to exit.”
Our aim is to share new systems, innovations and ideas to keep us informed of the current business environment and how to adapt to new strategies with more agility than ever before.
The 2022 conference will encompass virtual panels in order to accommodate audiences from Hong Kong, Asia Pacific and Canada.
