WISE2025 King of Business Conference

Agenda for Day 1 Announced!

In the business world of 2025, it seems to have entered a new turning point. Entrepreneurs and investors are all looking for answers: where will the money come from next, and where will the value be reflected?

Despite many uncertainties scattered across different industries, in 2025, Chinese brands and Chinese technology continue to amaze the world. The scenery here is particularly beautiful. The annual high - profile business conference of 36Kr, "WISE 2025 King of Business", will participate in the first Beijing Art and Technology Week. From November 27th to 28th, it will be held at the Conduction Space in the 798 Art District, Chaoyang, Beijing, to tell the exciting story of this "technological counter - attack": "The Chinese market is particularly good", "These industries are particularly good", and "The enterprises coming to the WISE site are particularly good".

This year's WISE Conference will break through the traditional form. Using "technology - themed short dramas" as the carrier, it will tell how disruptive innovation reshapes the path of Chinese business. The conference focuses on core tracks such as AI, going global, and brands, restores the real business scene, and specially invites "AI practitioners", "veterans in going global", and "brand architects" to have in - depth conversations with the guests on the stage, conducting a deep review of the integration of business and technology in 2025.
