Hong Kong leader John Lee to speak at third annual confab for family-owned businesses

Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu is scheduled to speak in a fireside chat on Friday during the third Family Business Summit in Hong Kong, as the city burnishes its role as the offshore fundraising hub and ‘superconnector’ between the Chinese mainland and the rest of the world.

The speech is the highlight of the conference, curated by the South China Morning Post and Blue Pool Capital, with UBS as the presenting partner. The attendees – by invitation only – comprise about 150 private business owners from the US, Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, as well as Hong Kong and mainland China.
