Overview

This conference will address the important issue of how Australia, and the region more broadly, should respond to the emergence of China as an economic superpower.

Rather than re-examine IP enforcement problems, the event will focus on China's rapid emergence as a powerful and extremely innovative nation and the unique opportunity this presents for many innovative Australian companies.

The conference will feature Australian and Chinese speakers drawn from a range of business, law, economics and policy backgrounds and include some of the nation's most insightful thought-leaders on the issue.
