With a population of over 86 million contributing to more than 13 trillion yuan ($1.8 trillion) in GDP in 2022, the Greater Bay Area (GBA) is rising as an international innovation and tech frontline for Chinese entrepreneurs and investors looking to connect with the world, especially neighboring economies across Asia.
The GBA – which comprises the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, as well as nine municipalities in southern China’s Guangdong Province – has been known for the region’s favorable government policies, abundant tech-savvy middle-class consumers, maturing capital markets, and industry clusters that accelerate the growth of everything from autonomous driving to AI biotech.
A total of 63 companies in the GBA have made it onto a 2023 global unicorn list compiled by Hurun Research Institute, an increase of 12 compared to one year earlier.
In a challenging global environment and an ongoing US-led decoupling from China, this panel presents three top investors and one unicorn business leader from the GBA to share their insights into how to weather storms with carefully crafted investment & business strategies and stay on top of the going-global game.
