On June 10, 2015, ZG Worldwide associates Lothar Soliwon and
Quinn Place attended the Think Asia, Think Hong Kong conference at McCormick
Place in Chicago to discuss business opportunities with Chinese investors and
promote ZG Worldwide’s services. An
estimated 1,000 attendees were at the event.
Besides presentations explaining the direction of Chinese economic
development and its increased engagement with the global economy, there were
many vendors of business services.
Quinn and Lothar attended several individual matching sessions with Chinese
business entities. Quinn Place is member
of a group developing telemedicine technology in the U.S. and China.
The one-day conference was focused on Hong Kong’s special
relationship with both mainland
China and North America, as well as its status as Asia’s international trade and financial center. Hong Kong is an ideal platform for U.S. companies seeking new markets and business opportunities in China and other parts of Asia.

The One Belt, One Road initiative - the Silk Road Economic
Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road – is a key part of
China’s development strategy. China is
conducting feasibility studies on four outbound high-speed railways, including
the Europe-Asia high-speed rail, Central Asia high-speed rail, Pan-Asia
high-speed rail, and the China-Russia-America-Canada line. To provide financial support for the development
of the Belt and Road Initiative, China is promoting the establishment of the
Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank, the BRICS New Development Bank, and the
Silk Road Fund.
China continues to gear up its role as a major player in the
global economy. It has established 118
economic and trade cooperation zones in 50 countries around the world. Chinese enterprises are being encouraged to
increase overseas investment in the exploitation of mineral resources to
improve China’s supply of energy resources.
There were many networking opportunities at the event for
Lothar and Quinn to talk with both Chinese and American entrepreneurs. These
included representatives in the auto industry, to environmental businesses,
restaurant chains, energy suppliers, consultants, and financial service providers. ZG Worldwide looks forward to new
partnerships and continued relationships with existing clients.
