What have we learned from the biggest financial crisis since the
greatest depression in the United States? Different countries in the
world were affected and reacted differently driven by the cultures, the
economic structures, and their stages of development, etc.
Investing globally is not a new concept to friends of HYSTA, but the
complexity of looking into the global economy is not an easy task. To
provide insights into the future, and deeper understanding of the past,
we have put together a distinguished panel for a discussion of Global
Investment with a focus on US, China, and Asia.

The term “innovation” refers to a new way of doing things. It may refer to incremental and emergent or radical and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations. Innovation is an important topic in the study of economics and business. In an economic downturn where capital supply is low, and human capital is in distress, companies that can innovate effectively are the ones that can survive and capture bigger market shares in the end. Please join us to learn from these innovators and leaders in the global online industry.
