Over 400 industry leaders and experts from Switzerland and China convened in Beijing on Monday for the eighth Sino-Swiss Economic Forum (SSEF), aiming to strengthen business growth through collaboration and innovation. The forum served as a platform for senior executives and government representatives from both nations to engage in in-depth dialogues on a range of topics, including life sciences, industrial robotics, and artificial intelligence.
Chinese Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao addressed the gathering, highlighting China’s commitment to developing new quality productive forces with innovation at the core. “I think this is highly compatible with the innovation capabilities of Switzerland—a country that boasts sci-tech innovation,” Wang stated. “In developing new quality productive forces, China can provide a lot of cooperation opportunities and market space for Swiss enterprises.”
The participants agreed that there is significant room for enhanced cooperation, especially in light of China’s promotion of high-quality development. The forum underscored the mutual benefits of Sino-Swiss collaboration, emphasizing the potential for Swiss firms to tap into the expansive Chinese market while contributing their expertise in innovation and technology.
The SSEF has become a pivotal event in fostering economic ties between the two countries, offering a unique opportunity for businesses to explore partnerships and collaborative ventures. The discussions at this year’s forum are expected to pave the way for new initiatives that will drive growth and innovation in both Switzerland and China.
