The 11th Chinese Enterprises Outbound Investment Conference will be held in Changsha, Hunan Province on Oct. 22nd-23rd, 2017. The conference aims to put Belt and Road (B&R) projects on a sound track, further open up B&R markets, and enable a larger number of globalizing Chinese enterprises to open up about outbound investment experience and opportunities. The conference is sponsored by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), and co-sponsored by CCPIT Hunan, Changsha Municipal People’s Government, and CCPIT Investment Promotion Center. An estimated 500 guests will attend.
Around the theme of “Ushering in a new era of outbound investment and services in B&R markets”, the conference will cover two topics - “outbound investment trends” and “international industrial capacity cooperation”. Discussions will focus on cross-border agricultural cooperation, overseas economic and trade cooperation zone, outbound investment services, and smart manufacturing. Participants may get a better sense of the investment environment and opportunities of B&R countries and regions while drawing on the proven experience of Chinese enterprises going global.
The conference will be addressed by Chinese and foreign competent authorities, famed experts and scholars, heads of overseas trade and investment promotion agencies, and delegates from industrial and commercial circles. Participants are allowed to conduct in-depth exchanges with the speakers on how to promote outbound investment and operations. They will in turn deepen their understanding of overseas investment opportunities and policies, and make an acquaintance of industrial and political heavyweights at home and abroad.
Interested enterprises may now apply for participation. There is no admission fee for the conference.

10:20-11:20 Plenary session No.1: Outbound investment trends
As the global economic landscape is undergoing profound changes, new trends are surfacing in outbound investment. How can Chinese enterprises seize the strategic opportunity and deepen their involvement in B&R projects and international industrial capacity cooperation?
11:20-12:20 Plenary session No.2: International industrial capacity cooperation
Countries engaged in international industrial capacity cooperation may unleash their own advantages and inject their own factors of production into the waves of globalization. Such efforts will increase the odds of mutual benefits and shared development. Internally, the countries are able to proceed with industrial transformation and upgrading and set off a new round of high-quality opening-up, giving themselves and local enterprises a better shot against international competition.
12:20-13:30 Luncheon
13:30-15:00 Panel session No.1: Cross-border agricultural cooperation
In recent years, China’s agriculture has stepped up efforts to implement the “going out” strategies. It sees the abundant agricultural resources of the 60-odd B&R countries as a springboard to its global ambitions. How can China build on, and tap the potential of, cross-border agricultural cooperation for heavier investment in key sectors overseas?
13:30-15:00 Panel session No.2: Overseas economic and trade cooperation zone
At overseas economic and trade cooperation zones, Chinese enterprises will not only realize cluster development, but also develop together with the host countries. The increasing number of Chinese enterprises drawn to such zones, not least the relatively mature ones, are playing an important role in driving local economic transformation and upgrading. How can Chinese enterprises cluster closer in the zones in seek of more investment opportunities?
15:00-15:20 Tea break
15:20-17:00 Panel session No.3: Outbound investment services
B&R initiative has brought no less challenges than opportunities to Chinese enterprises. The 60-odd B&R countries sit oddly with one another in legal framework, market access policies, financial and tax system, environmental and labor protection schemes; some of them fall short of economic and political maturity and stability, legal soundness and business friendliness. How can globalizing Chinese enterprises safeguard their investments and operations by means of professional financial, legal, insurance and tax services?
15:20-17:00 Panel session No.4: Smart manufacturing
Nowadays, smart manufacturers are constantly upgrading themselves so as to meet the extensive demand for high-end equipment and technology. Many of them are coveting a larger share of the Chinese market. How can domestic smart manufacturers rise to the challenges? How can they build competitiveness, grow faster and go global?
17:00-18:30 Country-specific promotion and project outreach
