Zak DYCHTWALD is the founder and CEO of Young China Group, a think tank and consultancy focusing on China’s emerging identity on the world stage and the evolving East and West millennial mindset.

A 29-year old Columbia University graduate and fluent Mandarin speaker, he has spoken at forums and summits across four continents as a rising authority in his field.
Zak speaks about the attitudes and consumer drivers of China’s 417 million millennials—who they are, how they stack up against global millennials, their impact on global innovation, what they want, and why they want it. This generation redefines every market they touch, and Zak gives you an insider’s guide into understanding how this generation is changing the world.
Young China: How China’s Millennial Mindset Will Change Their Country, the World, and Your Industry
Chinese millennials are already becoming the most powerful consumer class in the world, redefining every industry they touch. China’s 420 million millennials outnumber American millennials by 5x. It’s time to understand the world’s consumers of today and tomorrow.
How China’s “Millennial Mindset” Will Redefine Global Innovation
Despite the stereotypes of “copycat China,” Chinese millennials were bred for highspeed disruption. For rising Young China, how does a lifetime of rapid growth lead to a hyper adaptive innovation ecosystem? How do China’s generation gulfs impact the way the world sees China? In what ways does an ecosystem of rapid change make for a culture of adaptation and early adoption?
