Speaker:
Dustin Jones, former Managing Director, Fung Retailing Group
The retail market in China is going from strength to strength, with its innovative and early adoption of new technologies offering an insight into the future of the industry. So how can companies here in Hong Kong, and globally, tap into some of this growing market?
Our next event in the Retail and Consumer series, sponsored by PwC, aims to address this question. We will be joined by retail veteran Dustin Jones, a former MD of Fung Retailing, who will talk about the future of expanding retail into China, the economic silver and areas of opportunity for retail growth in this next phase of China’s economic dominance. He will also touch on what New Retail really means for consumers.
