We cordially invite you to attend our Executive Forum on January 16, 2019, where Fosun Fashion Group Chairman Joann Cheng will give a presentation on “Dedication. Diligence. Focus. – How to Empower Overseas Invested Brands.”

Fosun Group is one of China’s largest conglomerates, with an investment arm that is increasingly active across the global fashion industry. Fosun has its own investment strategy and ecosystem and operation strategy, one which combines the momentum of China’s growth with global resources. 

As China becomes a major growth driver of the global luxury market, Fosun has developed its own comprehensive customer-to-maker (C2M) strategy. Essentially, the company acts as a digital connection between consumer needs and smart manufacturing, integrating channels such as CRM, online, social media, and retail stores to better analyse and utilise data. Furthermore, it connects the supply chain to drive business decisions that eventually benefit and cater to consumers’ needs.
