"We cannot stop AI from growing into an independent ecosystem—we have to learn how to thrive within it."

In this session at the CEIBS InnoLab, MBA1999 alumnus Eddie Huang (Co-founder & Chairman of Rainbow Dynamics) shares a masterclass in evolution. Drawing from 25 years of experience at McKinsey, SF Group, and Prologis, Eddie discusses the shift from the "replication" phase of Chinese business to a "China model" built on supply chain strength and AI integration.

Key highlights:

• The Independent AI Economy: Why AI is becoming a "different animal" that doesn't rely on human policy.
• From Strategy to Execution: Lessons from scaling SF Group from RMB 40B to 300B.
• The New Globalisation: Moving beyond consumer exports to exporting supply chain capabilities.
• Advice for MBAs: Why staying in the "hot zones" (like Shenzhen or Hangzhou) is more valuable than any classroom.
