CHINA & U.S. SYNERGIES

中美协同

How Entrepreneurship and cross-border collaboration can create positive change and overcome economic and political obstacles?

创业与跨境合作如何克服经济与政治阻碍，创造双边效益？

A subject that is shaping the future of globalization, generating intense debates not only in both countries but worldwide, from politics to education, entrepreneurship, and the current state of innovation. When we talk about China and the U.S., we talk about the dangers and opportunities, the synergies and obstacles, and the future of the global economy and our society.

中美协同在政治、教育、创业和当前创新状态领域中持续塑造全球化未来 – 因此在两国之间和国际舞台上备受争议。中美关系不仅涉及风险与机遇，也关系着协同与障碍，以及全球经济与社会未来。

Coming straight from New York, and after a successful event hosted together with both New York-based global innovation platform Accathon Capital, and startup accelerator Lair East in middle-July, Michael Zhu is coming back to Beijing to share valuable insights and his point of view concerning the bilateral exchanges in capital, innovation, technology, fundraising, investment, and related entrepreneurial initiatives between China and the U.S. amid the current state of a tentative trade war, and how active players from both markets can successfully cooperate and learn from each other.

Michael Zhu在7月中旬与纽约国际创新平台Accathon Capital和创业加速器Lair East共同举办的活动圆满告终之后，从纽约返回北京参与此次活动。他将分享给予今日中美贸易战当下两国资本，创新，技术，筹资，投资和相关创业倡议的宝贵见解与分析；以及双方市场如何能够有效地相互合作与学习。

For startups, investors, and corporations with a primary interest in the cross-border relationship between the current two global superpowers, this a first-class opportunity to get insights shared from the Founder of Accathon Capital, a cross-border accelerator and VC investor in frontier technologies in different industries that share in common an interest in the U.S. and Chinese markets.
