    Program title, 2023 edition

    In May 2023, CKGSB partnered with Whampoa Group to successfully run the Global Unicorn Program in Singapore.

    The program—that comprised of the Asia Business Summit and three days of courses, company visits and pitching sessions—convened 94 entrepreneurs and investors to explore opportunities in the RCEP market and the necessary mindset, tools and network to leverage them.

    The diverse participants, who came from Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Switzerland, included 16 public enterprises and 30 companies ranging from Series D to Pre-IPO stage. The program was taught by world-class professors from CKGSB, Wharton and Stanford University, as well as industry leaders from across Asia.

    From my experience, you can’t work in silos, you can’t work in isolation. Looking in the region, there is no better partner for what we want to do (this particular school) than with Cheung Kong Graduate School. We are so complimentary.
