Action Education’s 10th Entrepreneurs’ Day to Open in Shanghai in September, Bringing Together 1,000+ Entrepreneurs to Explore “Organizational Capabilities for Becoming Number One”
Sep 2, 2026
Shanghai, China, September 2, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- As the dividends of opportunity fade and competition intensifies across industries, a growing number of private enterprises are discovering that their growth bottlenecks often lie not in the market, but within the organization itself. Growth strategies may move ahead while teams struggle to execute; strategic directions may be clear, yet implementation remains ineffective. The strength of an organization is increasingly becoming a critical factor in enabling enterprises to navigate business cycles and win in the future.
Against this backdrop, the 10th Entrepreneurs’ Day, hosted by Action Education, will be held in Shanghai from September 9 to 10. More than 1,000 entrepreneurs from a wide range of industries are expected to gather in Shanghai for the annual event, themed “Organizational Capabilities for Becoming Number One,” to explore new approaches to breaking through challenges and achieving growth against the odds.
A Decade of Staying in Step with the Times and Entrepreneurs’ Needs
Entrepreneurs’ Day is an annual event pioneered by Action Education for entrepreneurs. Since its inception, the event has remained closely aligned with the defining challenges of each era, providing insights into macroeconomic trends, industry developments, and corporate governance from macro, meso, and micro perspectives.
Over the past decade, the themes of Entrepreneurs’ Day have evolved from “Anticipation,” “Redefinition,” and “Sustainability” to “Raising the Dimension” and “Pioneering,” before focusing in recent years on the ongoing theme of “Moving Towards Number One.” Throughout this journey, the event has remained closely aligned with the development of China’s economy and the evolving needs of private enterprises.
Its continued focus on practical value for business has made Entrepreneurs’ Day an influential annual gathering and an important barometer of emerging trends among the entrepreneur community.
This year’s Entrepreneurs’ Day, themed “Organizational Capabilities for Becoming Number One,” will focus on the common organizational challenges facing private enterprises. It aims to help companies move beyond traditional growth models that rely heavily on opportunities and individual entrepreneurs, and instead build stronger organizations through systematic improvements in organizational mechanisms, talent systems, and corporate culture.
The ultimate goal is to help enterprises make the transition from a “super boss” to a “super organization.”
Three Content Dimensions: From Macro Trends to Practical Breakthroughs
This year’s Entrepreneurs’ Day will feature three major content dimensions—macro, meso, and micro—addressing common challenges in business operations.
At the macro level, the event will examine economic trends and innovation-driven development, helping entrepreneurs better understand the broader landscape and chart the right course.
At the meso level, the focus will shift to industry transformation and the development of organizational capabilities, offering practical management methodologies that enterprises can apply to their own businesses.
At the micro level, leading entrepreneurs from different industries will share real-world cases and break down specific approaches to building organizational capabilities and achieving growth.
Together, the three dimensions will provide enterprises with a comprehensive reference for upgrading their organizational capabilities.
The first group of confirmed speakers includes renowned economist Professor Zhou Qiren, Li Jian, Chairman and CEO of Action Education, and Deng Delong, Global President of Trout & Partners and Chairman of Trout China. More practical business mentors will be announced in the coming weeks.
In addition, the 2026 “Top Ten Entrepreneurs” will take the stage as growth pioneers, sharing real-world cases of navigating adversity and achieving growth across ten industries, including technology, manufacturing, retail, services, and healthcare.
Representatives of leading companies from various industries will also share their experiences in transforming business models, building high-performing teams, and navigating business cycles.
More Than 1,000 Entrepreneurs to Gather in Shanghai and Explore New Paths to Breaking Through
More than 1,000 entrepreneurs are expected to attend this year’s Entrepreneurs’ Day, representing a broad range of sectors including manufacturing, retail, consumer goods, technology, and services. Many participating companies are industry leaders or leading players in specialized market segments.
For entrepreneurs, the two-day event will provide an opportunity to recharge, recalibrate, and rethink their growth strategies amid a challenging business environment.
Participants will gain a clearer understanding of the direction ahead through insights into macroeconomic trends, acquire practical management approaches from leading experts, and explore potential pathways through real-world business cases. They will then be able to take actionable ideas back to their own organizations.
This combination of high-level entrepreneurial exchange and practical business dialogue makes Entrepreneurs’ Day more than a platform for exchanging ideas. It is also a practical forum for entrepreneurs seeking to address growth challenges and identify new ways to break through adversity.
From Strategic Insight to Organizational Transformation
As the annual event created for entrepreneurs, the 10th Entrepreneurs’ Day will bring together forward-looking insights into macroeconomic trends, systematic approaches to organizational capability building, and real-world examples from leading enterprises.
Together, these perspectives will provide private enterprises with a comprehensive reference for addressing organizational challenges and building capabilities for sustainable growth.
More speakers and detailed agenda information will be announced in the coming weeks.
On September 9–10 in Shanghai, more than 1,000 entrepreneurs will gather with their own growth challenges and ambitions. Their collective exploration of organizational capabilities may offer new direction for enterprises seeking to break through adversity, build stronger organizations, and move towards becoming number one.

The Pacific has long been the exclusive testing ground for such long-range missiles from the United States. How dare China! The reaction from Pacific island states was more measured. While leaders from Tuvalu, Palau and the Solomon Islands strongly criticised the test, the 18-member Pacific Islands Forum...

Chinese artificial intelligence company Z.ai is facing a trust crisis after developers discovered that its coding assistant tool, ZCode, was silently uploading local workspace data to external servers without explicit user consent. Even though the company, also known as Zhipu AI, apologised and patched the vulnerability, developers said the incident was likely to weaken its reputation, especially at a time when cybersecurity is becoming a central issue in the AI industry. The issue came to light...
New North Korea-Russia bridge delivers a powerful message to China
The recent opening of a new road bridge between North Korea and Russia may look like a modest infrastructure project. In reality, the 1km stretch across the Tumen River carries implications far beyond the movement of vehicles between two border towns. For China, it is a reminder that its influence over North Korea is no longer as secure as it once appeared and that Russia may be increasingly capable of challenging Beijing’s interests on its northeastern periphery. The bridge, inaugurated on...
North Korea fires 2 missiles in 3 hours amid tensions over US drills
North Korea fired two missiles off its eastern coast on Sunday, its second set of tests in roughly a week and days after Pyongyang accused the US of driving tensions on the Korean peninsula through a series of military drills. Nearly three hours after launching a short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) towards the East Sea, or Sea of Japan, on Sunday afternoon, North Korea fired a similar missile, according to South Korea’s defence ministry. If the subsequent launch is confirmed to be a ballistic...

China’s CXMT touts new chip manufacturing platform as close to ‘world’s most advanced’
Chinese memory chip giant Changxin Memory Technologies (CXMT) said on Sunday that it adopted its new-generation technology platform for mass production, narrowing the advantage of global leaders including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix in manufacturing nodes. CXMT’s fifth-generation technology platform, dubbed G5, achieved a “quantum leap” in storage density, with the number of dies produced per wafer increasing by at least 50 per cent from the previous generation while maintaining better...
Middle powers don’t have to wait for a Trump-Xi-Putin summit
The prospect of United States, Chinese and Russian leaders meeting at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit in Shenzhen this November has revived the Yalta analogy. Talk of a Trump-Xi-Putin summit – echoing the 1945 meeting that reshaped the world – surfaced during the first Trump term, and speculation returned last year with the 80th anniversary of the second world war. No such meeting occurred. However, Chinese President Xi Jinping hosted the two presidents back-to-back in...
Pending US$12.3 million house arrest fine keeps Malaysia’s Najib in prison
Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak said on Sunday that he would remain in Kajang Prison as he and his legal team study the conditions attached to his “conditional pardon”, including the payment of a 50 million ringgit (US$12.3 million) fine before he can be transferred to house arrest. In a statement issued on his behalf by Messrs Shafee & Co, Najib said his transfer to house arrest depended on the conditions of the pardon being fulfilled. “Until the fine is paid to the court, our...
The cooling trap: how Asia’s air conditioners are making heatwaves worse
As heatwaves become more frequent and intense across Asia, the region faces a dangerous power paradox. Soaring demand for air conditioning threatens to push electricity grids closer to failure just as extreme heat puts the infrastructure under greater strain, raising the risk of cooling disappearing when people need it most. That risk has been visible across the region this summer. In South Korea, President Lee Jae Myung called a record heatwave a “national disaster” in August after the death...
Anwar was on song in India. Will Malaysia reap the rewards?
Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim caused a bit of a stir in India recently with his spirited rendition of a Bollywood classic – a lighthearted moment that also neatly captured his broader push to deepen ties with the South Asian giant. A video of Anwar singing, from memory, Kishore Kumar’s 1965 hit ballad “Khwab Ho Tum Ya Koi Haqeeqat” (“Are you a dream or are you reality?”) was first posted to his social media accounts last Sunday before quickly being picked up by Indian news outlets. The...
Why AI giants are choosing Singapore to turn models into real-world tools
When Jordan Seow joined OpenAI in June 2025, he became the company’s first locally hired forward-deployed engineer in Asia-Pacific, joining a Singapore office that then had fewer than 20 employees. The 29-year-old is now part of a fast-growing workforce built in Singapore by the world’s leading artificial intelligence companies. Experts say the city state is emerging as a regional hub – not for training the latest AI models, but for the increasingly crucial task of deploying and adapting them...
