About this Webinar
This webinar tackles the issue of whether China—despite severe geographic, demographic, and economic constraints—will lead the world into the Fourth Industrial Revolution by 2030. It also covers the foundational technologies that will need to be advanced, converged, and widely deployed over the decade make this a reality. The webinar will further assess whether this will spawn a Beijing-centered global economic security zone dependent on Chinese technology and largely independent of the West.
The key questions that will be discussed are:
1. What are the key tech, macro and regulatory trends that stand in China's way?
2. How does China compare to the rest of the world in 14 'Industries of the Future'?
3. What is the future for China's established companies of today and its disruptive start-ups of tomorrow?
