On 14 March 2026, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School’s Global Business Programmes hosted the annual student-led Global Business Forum, bringing together industry leaders, educators, students, and alumni to examine emerging trends in global business and sustainability. The forum also welcome partners and students from the Asian Business Education Network (ABEN), fostering cross-cultural exchange and strengthening connections among education leaders across the region.

In his welcoming remarks, Prof Zhou Lin, dean of CUHK Business School, highlighted student leadership as a defining feature of the Global Business forum. He noted that the forum reflects the School’s commitment to nurturing responsible and visionary leaders. The professionalism, dedication and leadership demonstrated by the student organisers were instrumental in the forum’s success and in facilitating meaningful dialogue on business sustainability.

Throughout the forum, distinguished speakers from leading organisations shared insights into the evolving sustainability landscape, the growing importance of ESG in business strategy, and the role of collaboration in driving meaningful impact. Their perspectives encouraged participants to reflect on how businesses can respond to complex global challenges while creating long-term value for society.
