TechTalk: Pitching in China as a technopreneur

Join us for the first edition of our TechTalk series – Pitching in China as a technopreneur – which will communicate fresh insights into the Chinese entrepreneurial ecosystem and know-how in pitching skills.

How does venturing in China differ from that in Europe and elsewhere due mainly to notable cultural differences? For entrepreneurs, pitching is arguably among the first steps towards market entry and varies in different cultural contexts. This session aims to help our Swiss innovators better understand pitching in China and thereby facilitate fruitful exchanges.

For this webinar, Swissnex in China is pleased to collaborate with V-Next of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and welcome Dr. Jing Zhang, founder & CEO of the tech startup ZSFab, as our keynote speaker. Besides his technical expertise in 3D printing, Dr. Zhang will present his insights into the current Chinese VC landscape, practical pitching styles, and the “must-knows” when approaching investors.

The Q&A session will provide an opportunity for further discussion between the speaker and our audience.
