Shanghai, China

The Chinese market is full of energy, drive and risks.

• What are the best ways to access this market?
• How will China's impact on the rest of the world change as its massive state-owned sector continues to privatize?
• Is anyone making money here today?
• Where are the best opportunities?

Together with people who know China, participants will learn by visiting companies, talking with Communist Party officials, holding debates and discussions with business leaders and working with those who live and breathe Shanghai on a daily basis.

 

 

Silicon Valley, USA

How do Silicon Valley companies move from idea to start-up, through rapid growth to established entity, and then renew themselves repeatedly? And do it faster than anywhere else on earth?

Participants will meet and work with the people that make things happen at every stage of the 'idea-to-wealth' path. They will be able to put themselves into the shoes of entrepreneurs trying to change the world and create wealth at the same time. Participants will talk and work with start-ups and big company executives, as well as venture capitalists, head-hunters, lawyers and academics.

 

Mumbai, India

A trip to India gives the opportunity to understand first hand the importance of this burgeoning economy to the rest of the world from a geopolitical, economic, cultural and environmental standpoint. India is a global power in the making, if it manages to achieve anywhere near its full potential over the next few years.

The country is also a place of stark contrasts, often positioned side by side: abject poverty next to western luxury and sophistication; global corporations (both Indian and foreign) next to grass roots entrepreneurship.



During a six to ten day stay in India, participants will be exposed to as many of these contrasts as possible, meeting an array of people from all walks of life – advertising gurus, philanthropists, big business moguls, slum dwellers, serial entrepreneurs, eminent Indian philosophers, not to mention daily interactions with the locals we meet on the street.
