Oxford and Cambridge China Forum (previously the West Lake Forum) aims to serve as a platform for open discussions for Cambridge and Oxford alumni, and leading academics/non-academics from Oxford, Cambridge and Jiangsu-Zhejiang to share their insights on the world’s cutting-edge technologies and innovations. It also aims at strengthening the bond between Cambridge and Oxford alumni, stimulating a mutual development, integrating and sharing resources, as well as enlarging the influence of the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford. Following last year's huge success, the Forum this year focused on two panels: 'Innovative Management' and 'Entrepreneurship'.

This year’s Forum also had a wider impact than alumni of Cambridge and Oxford: more than 400 participants joined the Forum, of which 45% were alumni of Cambridge or Oxford, and the remaining 55% were people from more than 20 public listed companies, Zhejiang University or industrial investment companies. Around 57% of the participants held a master’s degree or a higher degree.
