On June 9, the GEM-SYSU DBA Program organized its first High-Level Forum “Riding the Wave of Innovation: How AI Reshapes Enterprise Management,” in Zhongshan, an important manufacturing city in Guangdong Province, located near Guangzhou, China.


The event was opened by Prof. Guangzhong Li, Dean of SYS Business School, and Dean Dana Brown of GEM. Prof. Jeff Yan chaired the forum.


AI transformation at the heart of discussions

Four leading business executives, all GEM-SYSU DBA students, shared their insights on AI driven transformation and industrial applications of AI, drawing on their companies' experiences and best practices. More than 130 young entrepreneurs and business managers attended the event.



The forum was jointly organized with the Zhongshan Young Entrepreneurs Association and sponsored by our DBA SYSU students. 






This initiative supports the promotion of the GEM-SYSU DBA program among entrepreneurs and business managers while strengthening GEM's brand visibility in the Chinese market. Following the success of this first edition, similar forums will be organized annually in major manufacturing cities across Guangdong Province.
