Preparing for & Competing with the 'Tech Titans of China'
Last August, the Economist argued that there is a new geography of innovation in a cover story titled, "Peak Valley." Looming large in this new geography is China. They've transformed their economy from that of a low-cost manufacturer to a cutting-edge innovator. With their "9-9-6" de facto weekly work schedule, China's tech companies are relentless in their pursuit of success, and it shows.
In this fireside chat, Rebecca Fannin, an expert on China, journalist, speaker and author of the new book " Tech Titans of China: How China's Tech Sector is challenging the world by innovating faster, working harder, and going global," will sit down with serial entrepreneur, professor, innovation consultant, angel investor, board member and startup mentor Mike Grandinetti for a fireside chat to discuss:
- The US-China tech race
- Which Chinese tech companies are making waves
- The Tech sectors that matter most in China's grab for superpower status
- What US startup founders can learn from Chinese founders
Join us on September 16th and come ready with your questions for Rebecca, who has the inside scoop on the ammunition venture capitalists, startup founders, and others impacted by -- or interested in -- cashing in on the Chinese tech industry need to prepare and compete.
