Milken Institute to Present the Second Global Investors' Symposium in Hong Kong, Charting a Path for Connecting Global Markets
The flagship investment-focused Symposium builds on the success of the inaugural event and will prioritize connecting global investors, chief executives, business leaders, and policymakers around the world.
HONG KONG, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Global Investors' Symposium, the world's premier investment-focused leadership gathering, will return to Hong Kong for its second edition on March 24 at the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, announced the Milken Institute today. With a full day of well-curated programming, this year's agenda aims to uncover growth opportunities and broker gainful partnerships, bridging the dynamism of global markets amid the evolving geopolitical landscape.
Under the theme Connecting Global Markets: Partnerships for Resilience, the event will convene more than 600 business leaders and senior executives to engage in compelling panel discussions, fireside conversations, and private roundtables. All public panel discussions will be broadcast live on Milken Institute's website for audiences tuning in online.
"The success of the first Global Investors' Symposium in Hong Kong demonstrates its unique strength in bridging global markets and investors, and underscores Hong Kong's important role as an international financial center," said Laura Deal Lacey, executive vice president of Milken Institute International at the Milken Institute. "The return of the Symposium will continue to drive meaningful discussions on financial and technology innovations and green financing initiatives, and inspire collaborative partnerships among global investors."
Distinguished guests in attendance will interact with global leaders and investors through a series of networking sessions and roundtable dialogues. Confirmed speakers include Marc Antaki, deputy chief strategy and risk officer, Mubadala; Todd Boehly, chairman and CEO, Eldridge Industries; Jorge Familiar, vice president and treasurer, World Bank, and pension finance administrator, World Bank Group; Tony Fernandes, CEO, Capital A; Keyu Jin, associate professor of economics, Department of Economics, London School of Economics and Political Science, and author of The New China Playbook: Beyond Socialism and Capitalism; Timothy Reese, CEO and chief investment officer, Pennsylvania Municipal Retirement System; and more. The Honorable Paul Chan Mo-Po, Hong Kong financial secretary, is expected to kick off the Symposium with opening remarks.
"Hong Kong's integration with mainland China and her role as a conduit linking mainland China with the global economy sets Hong Kong apart. As a highly developed free-market economy governed by common law backed by a Judiciary that protects intellectual property, Hong Kong's role as a global financial center connecting international capital with the world's second-largest economy is indispensable," said Robin Hu, Chair of Asia at the Milken Institute. "I am thrilled that the Milken Institute is returning to Hong Kong for the second edition of the Global Investors' Symposium. We look forward to inspiring conversations from a new generation of global investors and Chinese entrepreneurs in search of a new China Narrative."
