Last Wednesday designed an event where Founders, businesses and investors could connect over international brews. While learning and creating business expansion opportunities. This event cultivated real conversations, uncovered business expansion in China, and building international connections over a curated coffee tasting.
Over unique brews from across the APAC region, Albert Yang (Cross-border Media Strategist; ex-The Walt Disney Company APAC) expertly unpacked the market shift in China. For all the data, platforms, and mobile-first complexity, his core message landed simple and true:
The true strength of China’s digital ecosystem isn't just cutting-edge technology it’s emotional connection at scale.
New winners are direct-to-consumer brands that leverage social commerce (Douyin, WeChat, RED) to build trust and tell the best stories. It's about precision, not just presence.
Thank you to the founders and investors for bringing the energy. And of course this event wouldn't be possible without for the venue and thanks to Bridge360, for co-creating this event with such great brews and people. The connection was truly the point.
