December 2017 | University of Edinburgh Business School event in Beijing

Alumni and industry contacts are invited to join leading experts and senior representatives from the University of Edinburgh Business School for a special event and dinner focused on low carbon innovation.

The development of a low carbon economy poses a number of challenges and opportunities, which must be addressed in order to achieve a fully functioning innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Drawing on a strategic leadership perspective, guests will receive new insights from leading experts at the University of Edinburgh Business School, who will draw on their extensive knowledge of renewable energy activities and strategic leadership to reflect on what this means for the future of the low carbon sector. Attendees will be able to connect with fellow University of Edinburgh alumni and senior representatives from the University and the Business School who will also be in attendance.

We are delighted to host this special event at our partner institution, Peking University’s Guanghua School of Management as part of a wider visit to Beijing.

Confirmed speakers:

  • Professor Richard Harrison Professor of Entrepreneurship and Innovation and Co-Director of the Centre for Strategic Leadership, University of Edinburgh Business School
  • Dr Xi Liang Senior Lecturer in Energy Finance & Director, Centre for Business and Climate Change, University of Edinburgh Business School

A formal Q&A will follow to enable further discussion and will continue informally with a networking dinner after the event. Additional speakers and programme details will be announced soon.
