2018 Women Entrepreneurship Salon | China and the World: 40 Years On

2018 创业之美沙龙 | 与全球同行的40年

This year marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up. The country has gone a long way since the 3rd Plenum of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in December 1978. Over the past 40 years, China's social and business environments have undergone tremendous changes, transforming itself from a largely agricultural nation into the second largest economy in the world. During this process, women's development was also further accelerated with increased participation in economic development, decision-making, and education. Data shows that the proportion of women becoming entrepreneurs has reached 21%, close to men's.

自1978年12月十一届三中全会中国开始实行改革开放，已经过去整整40周年。40年来，中国的社会环境、商业环境和创新创业环境已然发生了翻天覆地的变化。在经济发展的参与度，参与决策和管理的水平，受教育程度等方面，女性也随之有了进一步的发展。比如女性自主创业的比例在改革开放以后已经达到了21%以上，接近男性的水平。

Under the dual wave of globalization and cross-cultural exchange between women, the seeds of innovation sprouted in China, attracting entrepreneurs from all over. In fact, many foreign entrepreneurs have received considerable success under the cultivation of China's excellent entrepreneurial soil.

在这种全球化浪潮的冲击与女性积极开展对外交流的双重作用之下，创新的种子在国内开始萌芽。同时中国引进国际创新力量，国外创业者们在中国优渥创业土壤的培育下获得了发展并取得杰出成就。

Organized by Beijing Women's International Center and Lean In China, this salon will explore the stories behind these successes and feature women entrepreneurs from different backgrounds and nationalities to share their experience and views on China's ongoing process of reform and opening up.

为了探索和揭示改革开放40年来背后真实的故事，促进女性国际化视野的提升，由北京市妇女国际交流中心与励媖中国共同主办的“与全球同行的40年”主题沙龙活动将邀请到来自首都各界的职业女性代表，与我们共同分享她们在这个社会大背景下的经历和看法。

SARAH KEENLYSIDE

Founder, Bespoke Travel

Bespoke Travel创始人

Sarah Keenlyside began her professional career as a journalist, first as an investigative reporter at The Sunday Times newspaper in London, then moving to China in 2005 to help set up Time Out's first English language publication there. After writing and contributing to a handful of guidebooks about China, she became a source for friends and contacts looking to experience the country like an insider. It was at this point (post Beijing Olympics) that she had the idea to set up Bespoke Travel Company.

Sarah Keenlyside以记者身份开始她的职业生涯，先是在伦敦的《星期日泰晤士报》(Sunday Times)做调查记者，然后在2005年搬到中国，帮助创办了Time Out在中国的第一家英文刊物。在撰写了几本关于中国的指南后，她成为了朋友们获悉消息来源。正是在这个时候(北京奥运会后)，她萌生了创办定制旅游公司的想法。

Initially a one-woman outfit, the business has grown to employ dozens of tour guides, experts, drivers and in-house tour planners who all contribute to vacations that have been lauded as some of the very best available. Nominated in the Greatest Innovation/Disruption category of the Travel+Leisure magazine-sponsored LE Miami awards in 2014, the company is widely recognized for its modern take on traditional touring. Clients have included everyone from Matt Damon and Metallica visiting with their friends and family, to major corporates such as Apple, HP, LVMH and Warner Bros.

由最初只有一位女性的团队，现在已经发展到雇佣数十名导游、专家、司机和内部的旅游策划人员的公司。 2014年，《旅行+休闲》杂志赞助的“乐迈阿密奖”(LE Miami awards)被评为“最伟大的创新/颠覆奖”。从马特•达蒙(Matt Damon)和金属乐队(Metallica)到苹果(Apple)、惠普(HP)、路威酩轩(LVMH)和华纳兄弟(Warner Bros)等大公司，都成为了他们的客户。Sarah Keenlyside最近被英国商会提名为英国商业奖的鼓舞人心女性成就奖的获得者。

Sarah has most recently been nominated for the Inspiring Woman Award by the British Chamber in the upcoming British Business Awards.
