" As a result of my various experiences with students in the past, I am convinced that the MoHo initiative will allow students to devote their energy to tackling dreams and inventing solutions by uniting and taking advantage of cultural diversity in one place.

Committed to doing and teaching innovation "

Bernard Cartoux
Experimentation of Innovation Director BU Power, Schneider Electric

" Innovation relies on technology, but not technology alone. Technology officers want to bring in new revenues, increase customer satisfaction, and focus on the benefits side, not just the cost side. Their job increasingly requires creativity and calls for identifying new opportunities, and then pursuing them.  Initiatives such as MoHo brings some fresh air in the way innovation is perceived, conceived, and implemented.  That can only be beneficial to the society as a whole.

Thank you in advance.

This week will be spent working and living together, getting into Chinese complexity through meetings, workshops and visits with top ranking Chinese and international personalities.

Luxury in China: leading executives for China from major luxury groups, brand managers for Western as well as Chinese brands Investment Strategies in China: top executives from Shanghai Huili Asset Management, China M&A Association, Agence Française des Investissements à l'Etranger IT, Biotech & Environment in China: top executives from Institut Pasteur in Shanghai, Zhangjiang Biotech Park Media & Culture: leading executives from Western media groups, French Consulate attaché culturel As well as numerous entrepreneurs and investors who have taken the Chinese plunge
