On 3 November I will be in Hong Kong leading a round table, by special invite, with some of the biggest companies in the world on the future of the global economy. The round table provides a high-powered platform for leaders to address global issues, to purposefully deliberate and to define the route forward for the future.
Co-chairs of this global business forum, involving leaders in business generating in excess of USD100 million pa, include
• Valentine Sendanyoye Rugwabiza, Deputy Director General of World Trade Organisation (Switzerland)• Rajat Nag, Managing Director General of the Asian Development Bank (Philippines)
• Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed S. Al Nehayan, Chairman of Bin Zayed Group (UAE)
• Zhang Yue, Chairman and CEO of Broad Group (China)
• Mdm Yen Dang, Chairwoman & CEO of Tan Tao Group (Vietnam)
• Tunku Dato’ Ya’acob bin Tunku Tan Sri Abdullah, Executive Chairman of MAA Holdings (Malaysia)
• Pierre Cohade, President Asia Pacific of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (USA)
In preparation for the Hong Kong session, I received the following email:
