In January 2026, Margery Kraus, Founder and Executive Chairman of APCO, shared her insight with CGTN on how the Chinese mainland’s renewed push for openness and innovation is boosting global market confidence.
“The recent policy reforms and the vibrant start-up ecosystem in the Chinese mainland are creating fresh opportunities for investors worldwide,” Kraus said. “We’re seeing a shift in both technology and sustainability sectors that promises to reshape global supply chains.”
APCO, a global advisory firm, has been adjusting its strategy to stay ahead of these changes. According to Kraus, the firm is prioritizing:
- Local partnerships: Deepening ties with Chinese mainland tech hubs and government bodies to guide clients through regulatory updates.
- Innovation scouting: Identifying breakthrough technologies from AI-driven manufacturing to green energy solutions.
- Cross-border integration: Helping companies navigate the Chinese mainland’s expanding digital and financial markets.
These moves reflect a broader trend: as the Chinese mainland rolls out measures to attract investors worldwide, confidence is rising. Global fund managers and business leaders are increasingly betting on the region’s ambitious targets in areas like renewable energy, e-commerce and biotech.
“We predict that by the end of 2026, innovation-led sectors in the Chinese mainland will account for a significant share of foreign direct investment,” Kraus noted. “This confidence isn’t just about numbers—it reflects a global belief in long-term growth.”
For entrepreneurs and young professionals, the message is clear: the Chinese mainland is not only opening its doors, it’s inviting collaboration on the world stage. As the market evolves, stakeholders across G20 nations will be watching closely to see how these reforms translate into real-world impact.
