Beijing is buzzing this week as the China Development Forum (CDF) 2025 kicks off, drawing over 80 top CEOs and execs from the world’s biggest companies. Think Apple, BMW, and Siemens—all under one roof to tackle global growth challenges. 🌍✨
With U.S. firms leading the pack (27 in total!), sectors like finance, energy, and healthcare are stealing the spotlight. Bonus? 17 companies are making their CDF debut this year, signaling fresh interest in China’s expanding market opportunities. 🚀
Chinese Premier Li Qiang opened the forum with a bold message: ‘Foreign businesses aren’t just guests—they’re family.’ He doubled down on policies to help global brands thrive in China, promising smoother integration and more collaboration. 🎯
From green energy to AI innovation, the two-day summit is all about bridging ideas across borders. As one exec put it: ‘If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu.’ 🍽️💡
