On Nov. 8th, the 1st session of the Foresighted Interactive Lecture Series Wild Goose Queue Program created by Xuhui District Commercial Committee, DOBE and WORKFACE was held successfully in Sports Hotel Shanghai in Xuhui District. The theme of this session was “Future Leading Enterprise Activity Series: Perspectives on 2013 Shanghai Hot Economic Topics——the Connotation and Development of Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone”.
This Lecture Series invited Hua Bin, Member of the Free Trade Zone Research Panel of China Executive Leadership Academy, Pudong, and Wei Xin, Director of Allstar Law Firm to give lectures. The two lecturers gave a deep interpretation of the development and connotation of the Free Trade Zone from 5 aspects: the motivation and reason for the establishment of the Free Trade Zone, the current framework of rule of law in the Free Trade Zone, the current changes in the Free Trade Zone, the industrial opportunities brought by the Free Trade Zone, and the strategies for enterprises to grasp the opportunities brought by the Free Trade Zone. They also made a prospective analysis and prediction about the development prospect of the Free Trade Zone. The lectures attracted the top management of nearly 100 enterprises of finance, technology, IT, medical, cultural & creative, e-commerce, trade and other industries.
This session broke the traditional lecture form, and implanted the interactive sharing feature of WORKFACE. Group Discussion and Group Q & A sections were set in the lectures, which gave plenty of communication space between enterprise and enterprise, as well as between enterprises and the lecturers. The Q & A section collected 15 typical questions from nearly 100 enterprises, including questions about the opening degree of controlled business in the Free Trade Zone, the orientation of each of the four Free Trade Zones, the convenience for the offshore business of overseas purchase in import and export trade, and the way for startup companies to take full advantage of the policies in the Free Trade Zone. The lecturers answered the questions put forward by each group representative in detail. Moreover, they gave some strategic guidance about enterprises’ future investment orientation in the Free Trade Zone, and different industries’ strategies to cope with the Free Trade Zone’s policies.
It’s said that as part of DOBE CEO Club’s activities, 5 sessions of the WORKFACE Wild Goose Queue Program Series Activity will be held successively in this year, one session a week. New prominent entrepreneurs will be selected to attend the lectures, aiming to create a Future Leading Enterprise Special Training Camp.
