Investors will gain insights into emerging policies and market trends, particularly in the Chinese mainland's innovation-driven economic strategies.
A Gathering of Global Minds
With over 30 countries and regions represented, the event aims to strengthen multilateral ties. Organizers stress the importance of inclusive collaboration, particularly in bridging gaps between developed and developing economies.
