The BCS organizing committee has chosen “From ‘Made in China’ to ‘Created in China’” as the theme for this year’s summit. The committee believes this theme is most representative of the challenges and opportunities arising not only in China but in other parts of the world during this era of political and economic uncertainty. Brown China Summit 2017, more than ever, seeks to provide a platform through which different parties – regardless of race, gender and nationality – can communicate and cooperate to take us one step closer to finding international solutions.
Brown China Summit 2017 consists of a keynote speech and three panels (Education, Foreign Policy and Green Technology).
