Focusing on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and innovation-driven development, the business leaders will contribute their expertise toward advancing Chinese modernization and engage in discussions covering various topics, including integration of virtual and real economies, smart manufacturing, the evolution of AI technology, and challenges of new variables to business investments.

“The summit will cover a wide range of hot topics, ranging from coordinated innovation to the development of GBA, as well as investment, education and artificial intelligence,” Qin Jingteng, deputy chief of the Shenzhen Federation of Industry and Commerce, the organizer, said at a news conference organized by the Information Office of the Shenzhen Municipal Government.

More than 100 speakers from various sectors, including government, enterprises and higher learning institutions, will offer valuable insights across a spectrum of themes in parallel sessions.

The summit will be held to bolster confidence in the private economy and promote its robust and sustainable growth, according to Zhang Hongtao, secretary general of the Yabuli China Entrepreneurs Forum.

As one of the cities in China with a large number of private enterprises, Shenzhen is home to 11 Fortune Global 500 enterprises and 4 million small and micro-sized enterprises.

Established in 2001, Yabuli China Entrepreneurs Forum has become one of China’s most influential platforms for the exchange of visionary ideas and strategies in the realm of business.
