Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu is scheduled to speak in a fireside chat on Friday during the third Family Business Summit in Hong Kong, as the city burnishes its role as the offshore fundraising hub and ‘superconnector’ between the Chinese mainland and the rest of the world.
The speech is the highlight of the conference, curated by the South China Morning Post and Blue Pool Capital, with UBS as the presenting partner. The attendees – by invitation only – comprise about 150 private business owners from the US, Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, as well as Hong Kong and mainland China.
“As a top global hub for wealth management and a vibrant international finance centre, Hong Kong is the perfect stage for this Family Business Summit, bringing together the principals of Asia’s and the world’s premier family businesses,” said the Post’s CEO Catherine So, in her welcoming speech at the third annual edition of the conference on Thursday. “The day is made even more special as we mark the 122nd anniversary of the South China Morning Post’s first publication, grounding our forward-looking discussions in a rich legacy of trust and influence.”
Lee will be speaking in a fireside chat with Alibaba Group Holding’s chairman Joe Tsai, on the final morning of the one-and-a-half-day conference. Alibaba owns the Post.
