As part of its mission to contribute to the development of the economy of Geneva and its region, BCGE has set up the 'BCGE Asian Desk' forum for entrepreneurs interested in Asia to share their experiences and methods.

At its digital conference on 20 January, BCGE brought together a panel of experts to discuss how the luxury industry has changed its business model in Asia, particularly in western China, where 80% of the 'hard luxury' clientèle resides.

Although luxury is associated with exclusivity, luxury brands have managed to adapt by offering a new customer experience through online retail. The objective is to find a complementarity between physical and digital points of sale.

Speakers: Blaise Goetschin, CEO (BCGE), Valérie Lemaigre, Chief Economist (BCGE), Michael L.Friedman, Head of complications (Audemars Piguet), Alexandre Wehrlin, Managing Director (EBS Geneva) and Danni Liu, Founding Partner (iBlue Communications).
