On 9 November 2019, 89 Fung Scholars and Fung Fellows convened together in Shanghai for the annual Fung Scholars Leadership Conference 2019. With the theme of “Big Data: Business Innovation and Application", the 2019 conference was a day of learning encompassing: big data, digitalization, and design thinking with the chance to share ideas around the topic of innovation, social enterprise, and businesses together with excursions to a world-class expo and sight-seeing. This year, the conference was organised around the 2nd China International Import Expo, where Fung Scholars and Fung Fellows paid a visit to the Fung Group booth to learn about the group's 113 years of experience in the global consumer goods supply chain and our leading solutions and technology across trade, logistics, distribution and retail. At the conference, Victor Fung shared his insights on the changing geopolitical landscape which has resulted in a new flow of trade and the reorganization of the global supply chain. Leveraging his experience in the industry and global network, he emphasized that Fung Group has never been in a better position to be the trusted partner to bring new added value for our customers in this complex era.
