Business China Youth Forum 2022
Trailblazers in a Turbulent World: Navigating Uncertainties in ASEAN and China
Business China Youth Forum (BCYF) has been organised in tandem with the FutureChina Global Forum (FCGF) since 2019 by the BCYC members. It aims to bring together youths in the ASEAN-China region to discuss in-depth critical issues and trends which are of interest to youths, and to provide the latest updates on exciting developments in China. This year, the forum will focus on three key trends in the ASEAN-China region:
- Opportunities for Youths in Metaverse and Web 3.0
- Youth Efforts in Environmental Sustainability
- Leveraging Technology to Enhance Food Security
Having emerged from a global pandemic, youths have explored novel ways to approach new problems, and have harnessed new opportunities that champion social good and economic advancements. They are well-set to be the trailblazers of our increasingly volatile world, where regional ties are scrutinised, business landscapes reimagined and societies change at an unprecedented rate.
What does Web 3.0 have to offer to youths? What are the opportunities of the metaverse? Conversely, what are the challenges of the metaverse? What are some key policies adopted by governments in promoting sustainability? How can technology be leveraged to enhance food security? This year's theme reflects the pertinence of these questions, especially in a post-pandemic era. More than ever, the youth have firmly demonstrated that they are not just the “nation’s future”, but also a generation who can shape the present. Join us as we delve into the complexities of our volatile region as global citizens.
BCYF 2022 marks the return of physical attendees; limited seats are available, so register now. There will also be a concurrent online broadcast.
