Overview
  
The US economy outshines others in this gloomy global economic environment, yet 25% of the revenue of Apple and 30% for Boeing comes from the Chinese market.  President Xi just signed a $38 billion contract with Boeing in Seattle, and China CRRC will invest hundreds of millions in Massachusetts to rebuild the Boston subway. What are behind all these facts and deals?

Both China and the US continue to face challenges as they seek new opportunities in the ongoing development of their business and technology. China has been gradually transitioning from a manufacturing hub to a center for technology and consumerism. Initiatives such as Made-in-China 2025 and National Entrepreneurship have been created to ensure a smooth transition that focuses on innovation. Today, most major Chinese-owned companies have their strategic sights set globally, with a demand to acquire outside talent to execute these plans. Vast amounts of investment capital are chasing limited opportunities.

In the US, professionals and business leaders struggle with the resources and knowledge to advance their careers and businesses as they try to develop their skillsets. The questions also arise as "how entrepreneurs should chart their path?" and the appropriate way for business leaders to leverage resources such as supply chain and government policy. 

The convergence of an integrated strategy between China and the US is a requirement for companies competing in the global economy. Professionals from each country can learn from each other to overcome challenges currently encountered and have a clear vision of the tremendous advantages and opportunities present upon this partnership.

  
2015 NECINA China Conference
  
The NECINA China Program is a platform to enhance the developing relationship between Great China and the US (NE) to nourish entrepreneurship and career development. The program includes the Annual China Conference (150+ audience) and quarterly meetings (50+ audience).
