Evening Discussion
Registration 6:00pm
Discussion 6:30pm
Close 8:30pm


China and India account for 37% of the global population, and both are seeing enormous growth opportunities and a thriving startup scene. Big changes are taking place in India’s ecosystem in innovation and technology, driving growth in sectors such as fintech, consumer goods, travel, medical and health, agriculture and education. China continues to play a leadership role in the global startup ecosystem, and Chinese investors are looking at India’s startup sector with renewed interest. Hong Kong with its rapidly growing ecosystem and its proximity to Shenzhen, known for advanced manufacturing and robotics, can play an important bridge between India and China’s Greater Bay startup ecosystem. The evening discussion will showcase founders and investors from the entrepreneurial ecosystems in India, Hong Kong and China, who will compare and contrast the different stages of development of entrepreneurship in each market, and identify learnings and areas of potential collaboration as well as discuss their own entrepreneurial journey.
