The World Knowledge Forum 2007 main theme, Wealth Creation & Asia, reflects the new
reality which shapes new global power equation.
Global economic competition is fiercer than ever, and new challenges are hindering future growth
of companies. The growing prominence of emerging economies, increasing power of fund
capitalism, emergence of new consumers, technology evolution and the network economy based
on Web 2.0 are making the environment more unpredictable. In particular, global risks, say climate
change, are threatening world development.
Along with rapid emergence of China and India, now the world is pinning their eyes on Asian
countries. This region accounts one-third of world economy, replacing global growth engine.
However, on the other side of the coin, serious problems have appeared, such as widening gaps
between the developed and under-developed, regional conflicts and environmental damages.
