Bridging the World, Fueling Peak Growth: Apexmind Summit 2026 Successfully Held in Hong Kong

(SeaPRwire) –   HongKong, March 24, 2026 — The Apexmind Summit 2026 convened today in Hong Kong. The event assembled top strategists, academics, and leaders from business and policy spheres worldwide for high-level discussions on how strategic opportunities are redefining competition. The summit featured the official launch of the Apexmind Consulting Hong Kong Office and saw its Founder & Chairman, Mr. Yao Rongjun, bestowed as an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Management Consultants Hong Kong (IMCHK). These two achievements signify that Apexmind, representing Chinese strategic consulting, is using Hong Kong as a platform for a “cultural handshake” with international business. Guided by the vision of “Strategic Co-evolution,” this marks substantive progress in its worldwide growth.

Redefining Competitive Logic and Unpacking Strategy for a New Age

In a keynote address, Mr. Yao, Founder & Chairman of Apexmind Consulting, provided a deep analysis of shifting competitive dynamics. He stressed: “Competition is about winning minds, not just meeting demand. The goal of business is to secure a position in the mind, not merely to create customers. True business is about winning hearts, not just boosting efficiency. Decisions must be made from the outside in, not the inside out. Strategy is an integrated system, not a collection of separate parts.” He argued that as Chinese companies move from globalizing products to globalizing brands and models, the world market needs a strategic language that is both globally relevant and conducive to international dialogue.

Earning International Professional Acclaim to Jointly Forge a New Global Consulting Ecosystem

Nicholas Warn, Chair of the International Council of Management Consulting Institute, also gave a keynote, outlining his vision for in-depth collaboration with Apexmind to jointly develop a global business ecosystem and propel industry advancement. He remarked, “Chinese consulting firms, especially those like Apexmind, enrich what we already possess.” This endorsement from a globally recognized consulting body, alongside Mr. Yao’s Honorary Fellowship from IMCHK, indicates a critical transition: Chinese strategy consulting is moving from absorbing global business knowledge to co-creating original strategic frameworks.

Spotlighting Seven Strategic Opportunities to Chart a Growth Roadmap for Chinese Companies

Co-President of Apexmind Consulting, Mr. Chen Ji, unveiled the “Seven Strategic Opportunities for Chinese Enterprises” at the summit. This structured strategic approach offers firms clear, practical pathways for growth and avenues for breakthrough. Each opportunity is derived from insights gained through hands-on strategic work with 62 companies. These models help businesses convert external unpredictability into reliable, long-term growth.

Other esteemed speakers from universities, trade groups, and the corporate world added their perspectives. Professor Shi Weilei from The Chinese University of Hong Kong suggested, from a worldwide viewpoint, that the international strategy of Chinese firms must find an equilibrium between local adaptation and global partnership. Professor Yang Yang of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Director of the HKUST Shanghai Center highlighted the value created by groundbreaking innovation in smart cities, observing that AI-era data and algorithms are creating completely new competitive arenas for entrepreneurs globally.

Daniel Chan, President of the Institute of Management Consultants Hong Kong (IMCHK), noted that Hong Kong is evolving from a “Super Connector” into a “Super Value-Chain Enhancer.” By creating a strategic link that empowers both Chinese companies expanding abroad and international firms entering the market, Hong Kong cements its distinctive value as a hub. Dr. Huang Weihong, Vice President of The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong, provided a local viewpoint, explaining how brands can use regional strengths and strategic insight to make breakthroughs amid new consumer trends.

The opening of the Hong Kong office and the summit’s success represent a modest step in Apexmind’s global expansion, yet a major advance for Chinese strategy consulting towards “Cultural Handshake, Strategic Co-evolution.” With a demonstrated history of helping 62 companies attain large-scale, billion-level growth, Apexmind Consulting is steering the industry from establishing local precedents to shaping global benchmarks. Looking forward, Apexmind will uphold an open vision, introducing internationally its strategy frameworks, which are born in China and proven in practice.
