#5 Regional Trek to Beijing and Shanghai
2 cities, 4 headquarter visits, 2 MBA top business school mixers, 1 director’s table and 1 regional alumni breakfast meet in 4 days — at CUHK MBA, we fathom the value of synergy and regional business connection.
Our #5 MBA Regional Trek to Beijing and Shanghai was a journey of innovation, strategy, and collaboration. From Xiaomi’s groundbreaking business model in consumer electronics to Tesla’s transformative leadership in sustainable energy, the trek offered unparalleled access to world-class companies. Students and alumni engaged with industry giants, including Mercedes-Benz Group’s Chief HR Officer and IPO investors in Beijing, as well as leaders at Fosun Group in Shanghai. The trek wasn’t just about visits—it was about conversations, such as our mixers with MBA students from Peking University and Shanghai Jiaotong University, fostering global perspectives and enriching our vibrant MBA network.
