Global business leaders are setting their sights on the Chinese mainland as they gear up for the highly anticipated China Development Forum (CDF) 2025 in Beijing. Since its inception in 2000, the forum has been a premier platform for fostering dialogue between government officials, industry leaders, and international organizations.
Under the theme "Unleashing Development Momentum for Stable Global Growth," CDF 2025 will feature 12 symposiums and several closed-door sessions addressing key topics such as healthcare, artificial intelligence, consumption trends, and sustainable supply chains. This dynamic agenda is designed to inspire innovative solutions and promote resilient economic strategies across diverse sectors.
During a recent meeting with Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, Merlin Swire, CEO of John Swire & Sons, stated, "I'm here early for CDF this time," as he outlined plans to boost investments in the Chinese mainland's real estate, aviation, and healthcare industries. Long-standing participants like Jean-Pascal Tricoire, chairman of Schneider Electric, also celebrated the forum's 25th anniversary and its forward-looking approach to economic transformation and sustainability.
Coming on the heels of China’s Two Sessions, the upcoming forum underscores the Chinese mainland's commitment to openness and global cooperation. As leaders from around the world converge in Beijing, CDF 2025 promises to offer fresh insights and strategic partnerships that will help shape the future of global growth and innovation.
