13:10 – 15:10 Panel Discussion I - Smart Strategies for Growth
Companies in the construction business that want to grow have several options available to boost revenue and tap new markets. Traditional acquisitions can lead to much larger market share and revenues, while some companies may opt to go onto the open market through initial public offerings (IPOs) to boost capital. Meanwhile, other firms are finding that building collaborative partnerships through joint-ventures, mergers and alliances help them expand their reach and prepare for the future without risking large amounts of cash up-front. This panel of executives from top Chinese construction firms will discuss these primary strategies that are helping them break through to new levels of size and strength.

The world's ongoing building boom has fundamentally changed the dynamics and fluidity of commodity prices in the construction business, and this has become quite evident in the rising cost of steel, copper, cement and other materials. How can everyone keep on building at this rapid rate without getting squashed by ever-rising material prices? Our panel of experts will analyze the problem and look closely at what companies can do to mitigate their exposure to the crunch of commodity pricing through better design, financial planning and procurement, and will look at new technologies in building materials that can help firm cut down on costs.
