Techie stuff

You couldn’t exactly describe the place as beautiful – too soulless and full of those neo-gothic-meets-spanish-hacienda residential complexes which architects over here seem to favour – but impressive in an architect’s-model-brought-to-life sort of way,michael kors outlet.

But to the business,; what’s the Dalian ‘Summer Davos’ all about once you’ve stripped out the hideous jargon (why can’t MBA’s write plain English?), a fair amount of self-aggrandisement and the unmistakable faint whiff of sanctimony that seems to hang over these events?

(If you buy a ‘healthy’ meal in the canteen the WEF will donate 20 cents to fund a school meal in a developing country. No doubt the execs will feel a bit better about rising global inequality after they’ve eaten their tofu salad – real-life corporate social responsibility in action, I'm sure,.)

Been breaking myself in gently with a stroll around the seafront where preparations are under for a huge dinner on Friday night, which means that almost everywhere you might want to go is cordoned off with police tape,moncler. Swat vans in evidence, too, though not really that necessary.

4) Society and business: I mock the WEF for its crass school dinners scheme, but there is a sense that after the obscene bingeing of the pre-financial crisis years,doudoune moncler, business and finance needs to take a slightly more holistic, long-term view of the world. China and India particularly are trying to create better public health and welfare systems and they need expertise, technology and top-quality advice to do this. Investing in creating a happier, healthier,moncler pas cher, more productive world population will – my official program tells me – ‘ignite the next wave of growth’,doudoune moncler.

On the beach there’s a gaudy fairground beloved of Chinese and a cordoned off swimming area full of locals bobbing around in their rubber rings having a nice time, which made me feel slightly more grounded. I packed my togs, so I might be persuaded to take a dip tomorrow, though don’t imagine I’ll be joined by too many of the delegates,.

The Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao will be in town then to deliver his keynote opening speech,moncler, so perhaps he’ll persuaded to don the Bermudas and lead the way, with Sir Martin Sorrell and Klaus Schwab trolling along behind,abercrombie. We can but hope.

3) Techie stuff: perhaps one broader lesson the financial crisis is that a lot of the growth that was based on financial innovation has turned out to be a chimera,. Which is why there is now a sense that business and governments are re-focussing on technology &#8211,moncler; on the core business of inventing stuff and funnelling the finance required to get it to market and create real growth. Just the kind of thing that Kai-fu Lee has left Google to do. Nanotechnology and the use of light in microelectronics will be among the subjects discussed,.

But I digress,. The big themes at Dalian will be as follows:

This from Dalian,doudoune moncler pas cher, the port city on China’s east coast which is the venue for the World Economic Forum’s annual summer shindig.

1) Green stuff: Copenhagen is on the horizon of course and – as Ed Miliband and others warned yesterday – negotiations don’t seem to be going too well at the moment. But from a business perspective there is a real buzz about green tech, and the business opportunities that could be created by the move to a low-carbon economy,. Expect this to dominate,doudoune moncler pas cher.

As a city Dalian is everything that we westerners expect from the ‘new China’ – historically a port (great birds eye-view from the plane today) but now a fast-emerging centre of high-tech industries and, of course,doudoune moncler, the obligatory real estate boom,michael kors.

2) Life after death: global stimulus packages might have softened the blow, but world global finance nearly ground to a halt last year. Things may be picking up, but they won’t ever be the same again. As I heard repeatedly at a banking conference in Beijing this spring, “the American consumer is dead”,. So if Asia can no longer depend on the old export-led growth model, what next?
