SUMMARY:Pepperdine University Leadership Delegation Visit to HKU
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by HKU Business School in collaboration with the HKU Faculty of Law and the HKU Business School Alumni Association\, we are pleased to present a special high-profile event: Pepperdine University Leadership Delegation Visit to HKU. This event features a Fireside Chat on International Law and Global Economics\, as well as a Panel Discussion: Venture Capital\, Universities\, and Geopolitics: Navigating Innovation Between Hong Kong\, the US and Asia\, on Friday\, 24 April 2026 at HKU Main Campus. The Pepperdine University leadership delegation will be led by distinguished Guest of Honour\, President Jim Gash. \nThe discussion will explore how international legal frameworks\, economic policies\, and geopolitical developments are reshaping global supply chains and capital flows. Bringing together expert perspectives from law\, economics\, innovation\, public policy\, and higher education\, the session offers valuable insights into Asia’s evolving role in an increasingly complex and fragmented global landscape\, as well as high-level HKU–US academic collaboration. This event promises to be an inspiring morning of insightful dialogue on pressing global issues. \nThis is a rare chance to engage directly with leading academics from both sides of the Pacific.
