About

The 25^th CEEMAN Annual Conference took place from 20-22 September in Hangzhou, China, and was hosted by School of Management, Zhejiang University. Hangzhou, known as the Silicon valley in paradise, is the epicenter of China’s tech industry and important center of economic development and education.

CEEMAN Annual Conference is the most important annual event of CEEMAN – the International Management Development Association for Dynamic Societies. In the past years, CEEMAN has been strengthening its links with China, and organizing CEEMAN Annual Conference for the first time in China was an important step to facilitate cooperation within Belt and Road Initiative.

The conference topic was Rethinking Entrepreneurship: Challenges for Management Education in Rising Economies, and the conference provided an opportunity to discuss latest trends, key issues, opportunities and challenges in the areas of entrepreneurship, innovations, and sustainability and see how business/management education can better support these processes to foster more effective entrepreneurship development around the world.

Besides keynote addresses, presentations and highly interactive roundtables with speakers and participants, the conference included company visits and meetings with entrepreneurs in Hangzhou in order to understand different stakeholders’ perspectives, the latest trends in innovations, and related entrepreneurship development needs.
