The Guangdong Provincial Government Information Office held a press conference on the 22nd to introduce that the 2025 Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area Global Investment Promotion Conference, jointly hosted by the governments of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, is scheduled to be held in Guangzhou on November 3rd this year. As of now, more than 450 representatives from Fortune Global 500 companies and industry leaders have confirmed their attendance. Zhang Jinsong, Director of the Department of Commerce of Guangdong Province, introduced that the conference has been successfully held three times since 2022 and has become a "golden signboard" for global investment in the Greater Bay Area. We have signed a total of 3645 projects and achieved an investment and trade amount of 7 trillion yuan. As of September this year, the overall commencement rate of investment projects at the three investment conferences was 88.1%. A batch of landmark projects are progressing smoothly, effectively promoting strategic emerging industries such as Guangdong's biopharmaceuticals, green petrochemicals, new energy vehicles, and new materials to leap towards the high-end of the value chain. The conference continues to receive attention from the global business community. As of now, 63 representatives from multinational companies, including vice presidents and above in China, have attended this conference, and several global CEOs of multinational companies will share their investment experience. The previous three conferences have attracted 465 Fortune 500 companies and 171 executives at or above the level of vice president in China, demonstrating the strong appeal of the Greater Bay Area as a global investment destination. This conference aims to build a global investment brand and strengthen investment and trade cooperation with developed countries such as Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, as well as emerging market countries such as the Middle East and ASEAN. Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao will also work together to hold special investment events for industries such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and biomedicine, fully unleashing the magnetic attraction effect of the Greater Bay Area.
