SML Emerging Market Fieldtrip 2018 to China and Vietnam <\/strong><\/p>\n

30th<\/sup> June to 14th<\/sup> July 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

After fifteen days of travelling 2\u2019600 km from Beijing to Hanoi on buses, trains, ships and in airplanes, we look back with great gratitude on a challenging, but highly rewarding journey. It was a unique experience to meet so many entrepreneurial people, to visit the Swiss embassies in China and Vietnam, high-tech Chinese companies in Beijing, consulting practices and financial institutions in Hong Kong, universities and manufacturing companies in Chengdu and Chongqing, an entertainment complex in Macau and textile companies in Hanoi. In addition we were able to discuss topics such as family business and wealth management as well as possible consequences of the harsh trade dispute evolving between the US and China with financial experts, students and company representatives alike.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is no doubt that the objectives of getting a real onsite insight into the rapidly growing Asian economies where present and future business partners and employers of today\u2019s ZHAW students and tomorrow\u2019s business people reside were fully achieved as the feedback by the students confirmed.<\/p>\n

Despite the packed time table we were also able to take in the natural beauty of China and Vietnam as well as to visit the old cultural heritage monuments and to experience the new traffic and building achievements in Asia\u2019s mega cities.<\/p>\n

We sincerely thank all contributors for their generous support in making this unique journey possible. In particular and in order of the companies visited we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to<\/p>\n
