The 21st China Chongqing International Investment and Global Sourcing Fair @ Chongqing International Expo Center
May 25 @ 10:00 – May 28 @ 18:00

Thank you for your continuous concern and support for Chongqing’s economic andsocial development.

Having been held for 20 consecutive years, China Chongqing International Investment and Global Sourcing Fair (hereinafter referred to as “CCISF”) co-hosted by the Ministryof Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and Chongqing Municipal People’s Government is highly recognized and acknowledged by the participants and merchants at home and abroad.

The 21st CCISF is scheduled to be held in Chongqing International Expo Center during the period of May 25-to-28 in 2018, which has key focus on introducing the national competitive industries and investment climate of the regions along the Belt and Road region and further promotes exchanges and cooperation across regions, through all levels and across all industries. It specially sets up Hall of China’s Economy in the New Era and Chinese Brand Hall, exhibits the new products and technologies in the fields of advanced manufacturing, strategic emerging industries, connectivity industries and modern service industry, and holds over ten high-level economic and commercial exchanges, special topic forums as well as investment and trade interfacing activities, and conducts more than 20 promotion meetings and project investigations for key countries, provinces and cities.

In recent years, Chongqing has played a full part as the pivot of Western China Development Strategy as well as the junction point of the Belt and Road Initiative and the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Chongqing has steadily pushed forward the construction of inland open-economic highland and a paradise with picturesque sceneries, which allows

for continuous improvement of her business environment and gradual progress of her comprehensive strength of growth. Open channels including Sino-Euro (Chongqing) International Railway Transportation, Railway-sea Combined Transportation (Southbound) Through Chongqing, Guizhou, Guangxi and Singapore, Chongqing-Shanghai River-Ocean Combined Transportation, Chongqing-Shenzhen Railway-sea Transport and air cargo operate on a regular basis, making it possible that the customs clearance system of railway, road, waterway and air multimodal transportation is highly effective and easy. Emerging and greater opportunities arise for Chongqing’s opening wider to the outside world and deepening international cooperation by implementing a series of projects and related supporting policies such as the China-Singapore (Chongqing) Demonstration Initiative on Strategic Connectivity, China(Chongqing) Pilot Free Trade Zone, National Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive Pilot Area, National Service and Trade Innovative Development Pilot Zone and National Dig Data Comprehensive Pilot Zone.

Those with shared ambitions think nothing of a long and arduous journey. You are cordially invited to attend the 21st CCISF and to join us in taking the business opportunity in Chongqing for mutual benefits and cooperation.

Building Female Leaders Workshop Series Vol.2 – Succeeding in a Cross Cultural Workplace @ The Salmonist Coworking

We are excited to announce the second workshop of the 2018 Building Female Leaders Workshop series – which contains 4 volumes, focused on building skills and connections to help more women access leadership roles in the global workplace!

我们很高兴地宣布—— 2018塑造女性领导者工作坊系列第二部分已经启动。本期包含4期,主要侧重点在塑造技能和简历联系,旨在帮助更多的女性在全球工作场所中担任领导角色!

Living and working globally is the new norm for increasingly growing number of professionals.  It’s an exciting space where cultures, values, and social norms mix and also collide.  What’s most exciting is at a fundamental level we know there are more benefits to expanding our understanding of the world than if we were to stay stagnant. 

对越来越多的专业人士而言,国际化是生活和工作的一种新的形式。不同的文化、价值观和社会规范会在所处的环境中彼此混合,相互碰撞。更让人感到激动的是,最基础的层面上,我们都知道扩展自己对世界的了解远比视而不见带来更大的益处。

According to PwC (Pricewaterhouse Coopers) latest analysis, 

71% of female millennials want to work outside their home country during their career, but only 20% of the current internationally mobile population are women. 

https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/03/whats-really-stopping-women-from-working-abroad/ 

据普永道(Pricewaterhouse Coopers)最新分析示,71%的女性新千禧一代有意在国外工作,但目前只有20%的国人口是女性。

 

We want to focus our upcoming workshop on the fast-changing workforce demographics.  Our workforce is diversifying in all layers of socio-economic segments.  As professionals, we need to better equip ourselves with awareness and tools to navigate and succeed in an increasingly more cross-cultural work environments. 

接下来的工作坊我们希望聚焦于快速变化的工作人口统计。 我们的员工队伍多元,且遍及各个社会经济阶层。 作为专业人士,我们需要更好地用意识和工具武装自己,以在日益增加的跨文化工作环境中前进并取得成功。

Let’s unpack and delve into the complex layers of misunderstandings, different norms, and different problem-solving methods from our current workplace, and get closer to better understanding our differences.   Our goal is to re-examine cross-cultural boundaries and to see them as assets and opportunities in our workplace.  

让我们从目前的工作场所中畅所欲并在更深的层面探讨所造成的误解、规范和解决问题方式的差异,进而更好地并了解彼此的不同。 我们的目标是重新审视跨文化的界限,并将其视为我们工作中的资产和机会。

Alice Zhou of IBM as Greater China Facilities Sourcing Lead and the founder of  China Procurement Professional Association Chengdu Chapter Leader with Cross-Cultural Solutions https://www.crossculturalsolutions.org/ will be our guest facilitator fully-equipped with her 9+ years of experience working and rocking in a Fortune 500 global company.

She also serves as regional ambassador for Technovation which is a global platform to encourage teen girls to get engaged in tech and innovate.  

在个人时间,她是元创中国的创始人(元创中国是元创全球在中国的分支,这个平台鼓励青少年关注科创和国际交流)。同时,她还担任Technovation中国地区大使,这是一个鼓励青少年女孩从事技术创新的全球平台。

She will guide us in dissecting cross cultural communication within the global workplace, how to incorporate cultural awareness as a professional competency and as a learnable trait, and how to grow into a sought after leader in the global economy. 

她将引导我们进行国际化工作场所的跨文化交流的探讨,学习如何把文化意识转化为专业技能和可习得特征,以及如何成长为受全球经济追捧的领导者。

 

Pitch YOUR idea at Volume 2:

What’s more exciting is this time we will be adding a new segment to our workshop by turning the mic over to YOU.  During each workshop, we will set aside time for three women to pitch their business and project ideas, goals, and needs to the entire audience in just 2 minutes.  It’s about building empires, right?

更令人激动的是,我们此次会在工作坊增加一个新的部分,也就是把麦克风交到你。 每次工作坊,我们都会为三位女性预留时间进一步拓展自己的业务,并向全体观众展示其项目的想法,目标和需求。 这将关乎一个帝国的建立,同意吗?
