Members FIRST event

Following on from our successful “Women in Business” event series, and to mark the global “Movember” movement, we are now delighted to bring our first ever event specifically focused upon men’s issues.

Men continue to face challenges, particularly in this post-pandemic world, from work stress, societal expectations, family tensions and economic pressures. Instead of opening up, sharing and reaching out for help, men often keep quiet when facing these stresses and mental health challenges.

Through sharing the personal experiences, faced by men, we hope to reduce shame and awkwardness about opening up, reaching out and seeking help – whether for personal challenges or when helping others.

The “Movember” awareness drive started in 2003, when two friends from Australia, inspired by a fundraising effort of a friend for his mother’s breast cancer, began growing a moustache every November to raise funds and awareness of men’s issues. Movember has grown over the years to become a men’s version of the global “pink ribbon” movement in support of breast cancer. In recent years the focus has expanded globally to include men’s mental health suicide prevention, and awareness of testicular and prostate cancer and the need for regular screening and care.

We have invited a number of businessmen to openly share their personal experiences of dealing with a particular challenge as a man, at work or in life, how they coped with it and any advice they have for others. An interactive “game” and Q&A will follow.

Whether you are male or female, whether you wish to share or just listen, please join us to learn more about this meaningful, often ignored and highly relevant subject.

Faced with an increasingly unstable geopolitical and economic environment, industrial policy has been inserted as a core component in the agendas of the world’s largest three economies – the United States (US), China, and the European Union (EU). These strategies and regulations on renewable and low-carbon energy technologies, raw materials and technologies of the future are likely to result in profound implications on the global supply and value chains while reshaping industries especially high-tech sector such as semiconductors.

What is the global geopolitical and trade outlook look like amid this global industrial strategy race? What are the implications of the varying policy measures on the strategies of multinational companies? As the world is seemingly moving away from globalisation, how will the elevation of industrial strategies impact the liberalisation of global trade?

Data sharing is a topic that is gaining traction worldwide.

The EU, for example, is enacting horizontal and sectoral legislation to further boost data sharing. The European strategy for data of February 2020 also foresaw the creation of common European data spaces in strategic sectors such as manufacturing, mobility and green deal. One of the most prominent data spaces is Catena-X, the first collaborative, open ecosystem for the automotive industry of the future, linking global players into end-to-end value chains, with the shared goal of a standardized global data exchange.

In China, at the end of 2022, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council jointly issued the Opinions on Building Basic Systems for Data to Better Give Full Play to the Role of Data Resources (Twenty Data Measures), aiming at fully leveraging China’s abundant data resources and rich application scenarios, and shedding light on Chinese-style data governance. Since then, relevant government agencies have stepped up efforts in exploring concrete policy measures.
