[SOLD OUT] 725 Salon: Wang Shi
VIEW EVENT DETAILSPhilanthropy, Entrepreneurship, and the Spirit of Enterprise
The era of economic reform has cultivated a generation of Chinese entrepreneurs who, in turn, have shaped the course of China's modernization.
Wang Shi stands out among these entrepreneurs who have grown alongside China's economic reforms. He is not only a notable figure in the contemporary Chinese business realm but also a pioneer among China’s first advocates and active participants in social philanthropy. His focus on public welfare spans from rural development to environmental conservation, and from biodiversity to climate change.
After retiring as chairman of the Vanke Group in 2017, he ventured once more into entrepreneurship. He founded the companies DeepRock and Deep Dive, dedicated to carbon neutrality, sustainable development, and the training and dissemination of entrepreneurial spirit.
In this 725 Salon, we will engage with Wang Shi to explore philanthropy, entrepreneurship, and the essence of the entrepreneurial spirit.
This will be an in-person event and conducted primarily in Mandarin, complemented by real-time AI-generated subtitle translation.
