Forewords: The rich Chinese population is now having their interests in the Chinese luxury bands after they’ve chased after the Western world famous bands. After years working for foreign luxury bands, the Chinese enterprises have determined to build their own high-end brands. Then, an important issue is launched by the two strands of consumers and enterprises: how to build China's high-end brands? And what would be the development strategies? What is the status of such progress? How could“made in china” turn to”Chinese created”?

Forbes together with Euromed Management école de Marseille invite Dr. Michel Gutsatz, presenting his view on “Seven factors in building world-class luxury brands”. In addition, many leaders of local, European and American luxury goods companies will also participate in the dialogue and share their experience in the enterprises development. The event is different from the large-scale forum activities, but it pays more attention to privacy and interaction. It would help attendees understand the industry's latest developments in a relevant short time, solve the challenges of the company and expand their high-end connections. To ensure the quality of the activity, only 40 people attended.
