The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School MBA Asian Century Forum 2026 successfully concluded on 22 March, marking the official launch of the MBA programme’s 60th anniversary celebrations.

The student-led forum brought together more than 60 industry professionals, alumni, and students for a morning of high-level dialogue focused on the future of business in the region. Centred on the core pillars of entrepreneurship, sustainability, and global development, the forum featured a series of insightful sessions addressing the most pressing trends of the Asian Century.

Professor Dominic Chan, Associate Professor of Practice in Entrepreneurship, opened with a thought-provoking keynote on navigating the AI wave, outlining the leadership responses required for an evolving future. The conversation continued with panel discussions on enhancing human sustainability through physical and mental wellbeing, as well as Asia’s pivotal role in shaping the global economy through modern infrastructure. Parallel sessions also explored cutting-edge frontiers, including the low-altitude economy, decentralised technology, and the impact of tokenised infrastructure in Asia.

Through these dynamic exchanges, the forum set a visionary tone for the next 60 years of innovation and impact at CUHK MBA.
