GLOBAL FORUM 2005
China and the New Asian Century
May 16-18, 2005
|
Each year, the FORTUNE Global Forum gathers the chiefs of global business, heads of state, and leading thinkers to focus on the most pressing issues facing world business and to share the strategies and forge the alliances that transform challenge into opportunity. In May 2005, this ongoing discourse will move to Beijing as the ninth FORTUNE Global Forum convenes to explore the theme "China and the New Asian Century." We are extremely pleased that President Hu Jintao of the People's Republic of China will attend the Forum and deliver the keynote address at the gala opening on the evening of 16 May. This will be an opportunity for global business leaders and regional political leaders to meet members of China's new government.
As the world's economic center of gravity shifts to Asia, the dynamics of the global economy are changing dramatically. Already a dominant force in trade, China will overtake the US to become the world's largest economy by mid-century—with India not far behind. The focus of the 2005 Forum will be how multinationals can tap into the enormous potential of China and its Asian neighbors and prosper in the decades ahead.
Participation is by invitation only and is limited to chairmen, CEOs, and presidents of major multinational corporations. Top caliber guests, global representation, a strategically focused program led by the editors of FORTUNE, the intimate size of the meeting, and interactive formats ensure that the FORTUNE Global Forum is the premier summit for global executives.
