Join us for a candid and forward-looking fireside chat with **Ken Qi**, serial entrepreneur and co-founder of 01.AI, whose career has spanned the full arc of China’s tech boom — from the internet era at B2B platform Meicai, to computer-vision “small models” at Aibee, to large language models at 01.AI. Across these ventures he has helped build **three unicorns** and raise more than **$1 billion** in funding, after earlier leadership roles at SAP, Microsoft, and Oracle in China.

In this session, Ken shares learnings and advice for growing with changing technology, exploring three themes close to his experience: **AI, China and the United States, and entrepreneurship.** Let’s chat about what it takes to build in today’s era of AI agents, the real differences in AI and robotics entrepreneurship between China and the U.S., and the hard-won strategies he’s used to avoid the pitfalls of starting a business.
