The conference focused on new circumstances, opportunities, and collaborations aimed at attracting global foreign investment. The launch of the 15th Five-Year Plan and the Hainan Free Trade Port served as focal points for in-depth discussions among participating foreign investors.
Co-chairman of Roland Berger Global Management Board, Dep, stated that the 15th Five-Year Plan provides companies with a degree of predictability, allowing them to understand key directions for future growth and plan accordingly.
