EARL Ng , son of Cebu businessmen Wilson Ng and Melanie Ng, has been chosen as one of the 300 student representatives of the next month’s World Business Dialogue, which is the largest student-run business convention organized by the University of Cologne in Germany.
Every year, 60 top businessmen dialogue with 300 chosen students from universities all over the world. Past speakers of the convention included Josef Ackermann, CEO of Deutsche Bank, Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, and Michael Bloomberg, governing mayor of New York.
This year’s, the 16th convention will be held on March 12 to 15 with the theme “Next Generation Business Strategies.” Ng, who graduated from the Center for International Education in Cebu last year and has since been studying in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, was also nominated as one of the top 5 students, who might participate in the opening panel of the business convention.
This is the first time that a student will join the highly-renowned speakers on stage to represent the needs of the young generation, the World Business Dialogue said in its website.
“I come from a business family which have the best of the east and the west,” Earl Ng said in his pitch for the panelist slot.
Ng, who is taking up Bachelor of Arts Major in Chinese Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said he wanted to discuss the blending of different economies and business perspectives at the convention.

As a personal note:
The Entrepreneurial spirit has gone a long way, successful Filipinos like Lucio Tan (founder of Philippine Airlines) and Henry Sy (SM) have placed the Philippines in the world map.

This year, we have one Filipino named Earl Ng from Cebu City who will represent the global minded young entrepreneurs and students of the Philippines.

So friends, help me spreeeeeaaad the word and vote for this young talent. Let's "bolt" in and raise the flag!
