Annual Forum View & Innovation . August 2 and 3. Manhattan, NY
CSSPENA has been committed to the unity of global Chinese with a focus on the exchange and development of education, culture, technology, economy and trade in the North America. We gather the authorities from academia, science, business and politics to explore the possibilities of human development worldwide.
The 2013 just passed by was an extraordinary year as global cooperation and innovation has become the most inspiring topic. We saw that capital globalization has brought us a more innovative finance with resource consolidation, but meanwhile increasing the level of contagion of financial crisis. We saw that our education became more and more emphasized on international leadership as well as the integration of eastern and western educational patterns. And finally, in terms of climate change, we saw that although some developed nations abandoned the Kyoto Protocol, the action towards technology development against climate change on the non-governmental level has never stopped. As a result, we are glad to address our CSSPENA annual Forum topic for this year Explore the Future: View and Innovation and we are hoping to cover the following issues:
1. Sitting at this recovery period after the global financial crisis, what should we expect, global cooperation or regional conflicts? 2. Are cooperative innovations in science and education going to bring an impact to the global pattern of economy and politics? 3. When seen from the perspective of human history, is the general standpoint, that eastern world is rising while the western declines, true? 4. How can developing countries seize their opportunities in the new round of Economy sector shifting? 5. Is there a universal path to follow in the balancing of commercial interests versus social benefits, or in other word, sustainable development? 6. Is the global capital free flow a good thing or a bad thing? Is there anything out there to inhibit its development?
We are hoping to obtain new levels of perspectives on our self-development through discussion of the topics above. Let's look forward to an in-depth analysis of the motivations and impacts of collaboration and innovation in eight sub-forums: Capital globalization, The Globalized "Real estate Storm", Technology Innovation & Entrepreneurship, International education and leadership, Healthcare Industry, Culture and Arts, Energy & Social Responsibility, International Relations.

 Panel One: Global Capitalization Capitalization has become prevalent worldwide along with the globalization of production and trade. Capital flows across all major global markets have accelerated drastically. In 2013, the EU and the United States still suffered from lackluster economic recovery. The traditional economic model driven by asset bubbles and excessive debt to fuel demand has ended. The global economy is entering an era of adjustment and rebalancing. Developed economies tightening fiscal policies while loosening monetary policies has become the new norm. Economic growth will remain stagnant in the foreseeable future. Emerging economies that have been highly reliant on exportation are experiencing huge transformation in order to become sustainable. At this critical moment, what should investors do to overcome challenges and simultaneously seize opportunities? When will the Chinese housing bubble burst? Why did so many Asian firms decide to go public this year? Will China overtake the US as the world's No.1 economy, as World Bank projected? Panelist 1.

Panel Two: Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Panel Innovation has been increasingly acknowledged as a major driving force of US economy as traditional industries are facing severe challenges and showing weaker momentum to spark future growth. Yet, dynamics of Innovation Economy is still highly region-dependent in the US. The East Coast, in particular New York Metropolitan area, has long been seeking its high-tech economy on par with Silicon Valley. Globally, the second largest economy China has seen limitations of its traditional manufacture-based economy; therefore, it has made tremendous efforts in transitioning to high-end Innovation Economy. With this background, we'd like to discuss where the frontier of high-tech innovations is and what the essentials to create successful enterprise are. Panelist: 1.

Panel Three: The Globalized "Real estate Storm" Since first the total wipeout of the Europe and the United State housing market after subprime crisis, and then the crazy outbound real estate investment by the Chinese investors, the international real estate market has taken a thrilling rollercoaster-like trip. According to the latest data, China!/s outbound real estate investment increased by 25% in the first quarter of 2014 from a year earlier to $2.1 billion. The internal real estate corporations, such as Country Garden, Vanke, and China Oversea, have started an oversea investment boom. The Greenland Group has confirmed its investment on oversea projects with a total value of more than one billion. The figure is three times more than its domestic investment. But in the meantime, the revival of the real estate investment in America is not optimistic. The FHFA housing price index of America indicates a year-on-year increase of 6.9% and its rate of increase has reached a new low during the past 13 months. Is the real estate in America in a state of Phoenix nirvana or still wandering in all time low? Is it wise for the Chinese investors to march aggressively into the foreign real estate market? What!/s the real reason behind this? Will this affect the international real estate market and Chinese inland real estate market respectively? How do the oversea organizations take advantages of the local condition and catch the opportunities? And what challenges will the inland organization have? Meanwhile, will this change let the small size real estate enterprise institutionfind a way to compete with the traditional real estate markets and keep a foothold? Will there be any new employment possibly produced in the real estate market? And how to maintain the balance between the real estate marketization and employment rate? Panelist: 1. Dr. Anna LEUNG.

Panel Seven: Healthcare Industry As one of the largest markets worldwide, the healthcare industry, which includes hospital, pharmaceutical and medical devices companies, keeps its momentum of dramatic increase from 2013 to 2014. Healthcare industry in the US has been reported to make over $2.4 trillion revenue in US, which accounts for nearly 10% GDP over the entire country. However, due to the considerably increasing R&D cost and the fierce market competition, it is more and more difficult for small start-up companies to survive in the environment so that many small companies choose to be merged with big companies.
