In an era of rapid technological disruption and shifting global dynamics, the Cambridge China Business Forum 2025 convenes academics, entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate leaders for a full-day dialogue on the technologies and strategies shaping tomorrow's markets.

We are bringing together the brightest minds from across China, the UK, and Europe to explore how emerging technologies are shaping the next chapter of global business.
