Hong Kong, September 7, 2018 /Xinwengao.com/ - The thought leadership report titled “The Trillion-Dollar Opportunity: Chinese Investment In ASEAN” offers a comprehensive review on managing risks and seizing opportunities along the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

“This is a timely report as China’s important Belt and Road Initiative was launched five years ago, and this report offers detailed analysis of the achievements and challenges this national initiative has encountered in this past five years,” says Nina Xiang, managing editor of China Money Network. 

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) turns five this year. With maturity, comes expectations, and, as with all global economic programs, expectations beget more expectations. In other words, the BRI is now entering a new phase and Southeast Asia will be front-and-center of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. 

While the BRI is considered a long-term objective, few can argue that the state-backed program will evolve into one of the defining geopolitical moves of our time. The numbers alone point to an unprecedented opportunity: two-thirds of the world’s population potentially touched; projections of US$4 trillion in investment forecast; and approximately 2,000-plus infrastructure projects on the cards.

Using all metrics, the size, scope and expectations of BRI are high. With geopolitical and economic tensions ripe globally, the world is watching and ASEAN will be one of the main theaters.  The role of the BRI within the Association of South East Asia Nations (ASEAN) provides a window into how China’s masterplan will evolve. 

Location-wise, many obstacles are removed in terms of logistics. Politically, the Chinese government has also signed numerous Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) and trade agreements with ASEAN markets, paving way for new BRI projects. 

ASEAN and China have long-standing commercial and cultural links, underscoring the implications of the BRI to the South East Asia bloc. Supply chains between the regional economies are firmly established, investment corridors continue to open and from China’s point of view, the ASEAN region has a strong track record as a testing ground for international expansion. 

Since the launch of the China-backed program, ASEAN has been a major recipient of outbound capital flow. Singapore alone accounted for around half of China’s total overseas direct investment in the BRI zone in 2015. Elsewhere, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia have appealed to Chinese investors and more outbound capital is already earmarked to arrive. 

Given this backdrop, the BRI has been welcomed in ASEAN, in the first phase at least.

The big question remains though, what happens next? More investment will be high on the agenda for both sides of the transaction. Identification of specific sectors for investment will also be a priority.  “The Trillion-Dollar Opportunity: Chinese Investment In ASEAN” report abstract can be downloaded at chinamoneynetwork.com.

“This is a must-read for investors and business leaders to learn about the most updated developments for seizing opportunities and managing challenges in China’s signature globalization program. Join us on 13 September in Hangzhou, China as we unveil the most anticipated, comprehensive BRI report so far,” says Naveet McMahon, managing partner of China Money Network.

From 2014 to 2016, education start-ups and companies raised RMB27 billion (US$3.9 billion) from venture and private equity investors. K-12 education took the largest share, followed by professional training and foreign language education. STEAM (referring to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics), pre-school, senior education and others took up the remaining share.

Which of these sectors will prove most sustainable and result in the greatest profit for investors? What new, or yet uncovered opportunities will emerge in the fast-moving education sector?

To address these and other questions, China Money Network is proud to host the China Education Investment Roundtable 2017 in conjunction with the best investors in the sector from Bain Capital, Barings Private Equity, GGV Capital and Sequoia Capital.

“China Money Network’s event series aims to bring together early and mid-stage investors in a single industry vertical and connect them with executives working in the industry to nurture business success,” says Nina Xiang, founder and editor at China Money Network. “For the education event, the top investors in the industry will meet with top education executives to share ideas and insights on how to capitalize on the sector’s coming changes.”

China Education Investment Roundtable will be held on Tuesday, March 28 2017 from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. The location is Level 16, EY Tower, Oriental Plaza, Beijing.

New York, USA, February 4, 2015 /Xinwengao.com/ - BZ Media LLC today announced new dates for InterDrone , the International Drone Conference and Exposition to be held in Las Vegas, NV. The event, which will be the largest commercial drone expo in North America, will be held September 9-10-11 at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino. More than 3,000 drone builders, flyers and buyers are expected to attend the largest annual event bringing together all the key participants in the growing market for commercial drone aircraft.

The three-day event features a two-day technical conference for drone-building engineers and software developers, and an overlapping two-day conference for the buyers and flyers of commercial drones, with more than 70 classes, panels and keynotes in all. There will also be an exposition with 80+ exhibitors expected to display their latest products and technology.

“Interest in InterDrone is unlike any show I have ever produced, with several calls per day from interested parties. Shifting our dates forward allowed us to add space to our existing contract. We’re working night and day building this event,” said Ted Bahr, President & CEO of BZ Media.

BZ Media also announced that InterDrone is producing Drone TechCon, a two-day seminar held during AUVSI’s massive Unmanned Systems 2015 show on May 5-7, 2015 in Atlanta. “AUVSI recognized that with our background in producing high-quality conferences and our deep ties into technical markets that we would be a perfect partner to produce a related seminar on the technology behind building commercial drones,” noted Bahr.

More than 35 media partners across three continents have already signed on to support and help grow InterDrone, including RotorDrone, Unmanned Magazine, GIS Cafe, Electronic Products, Unmanned Aerial Online, Embedded Developer, Linux Pro, RTC Magazine, Unmanned Tech Solutions, GeoConnexion, and ChinaTechNews.com.

BZ Media produces the world’s largest Android developer conferences; Wearables TechCon, the largest conference and expo for the builders, designers and developers of wearable computing technology; the largest independent SharePoint conferences; and Big Data TechCon, the how-to technical conference for IT professionals implementing Big Data. BZ Media also publishes SD Times, the leading magazine for the software development industry. Bahr previously founded the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in 1989, which covers much of the underlying technology used in drones.

Drone is the familiar name for what are alternately called unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), unmanned air vehicles (UAV), or Unmanned Systems. The work of peaceful commercial drones is surprising people with the dozens and dozens of practical uses being written about nearly every day in the press. While the defense market for drones dwarfs commercial spending today, a BI Intelligence analyst report expects nearly $12 billion to be spent on commercial drones over the next decade, with growth ramping up quickly.

The exposition will allow manufacturers of drones to both source products from OEM exhibitors, as well as meet and sell to professional commercial drone buyers in the agriculture, journalism, film, search-and-rescue, and real estate industries, among others. “This will be a one-stop and a must-attend event for builders, buyers and flyers of commercial drones,” said Bahr. The exposition will also include a drone demonstration area, the Yes Fly Zone, in the exhibit hall.

Registration for the event—strictly for trade and commercial drone builders, buyers and flyers—is now open at www.InterDrone.com. The Call for Speakers has opened and will close on May 15. For information on speaking at InterDrone, contact Katie Serignese at kserignese@bzmedia.com.
