Exploring Global Trade Trends & APAC Opportunities

On 25 February 2025, we had the honour of hosting Ms Irina Fan, Director of Research at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, for a captivating seminar titled "Recent Trends in World Trading Environment and Business Opportunities in Asia-Pacific Markets." A group of 51 CityUHK BBA Management students from the course of MGT4227 Launching Business in Asian Pacific joined the expert seminar talk.

Key Insights:
