Belt and Road Summit 2024 – Building on Collaboration and Cooperation

Since its inception in 2016, the Summit has been gathering senior government officials and influential business leaders from countries and regions along and beyond the Belt and Road to exchange insights on multilateral collaboration and explore concrete partnership. Marking the tenth anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative, the 2023 edition featured more than 90 heavyweight speakers and attracted close to 6,000 participants from over 70 countries and regions.

The Summit serves as a superior platform for participants to establish solid business networks for long-term business cooperation. The 2023 summit featured more than 100 exhibitors, and the Summit’s bespoke one-to-one business matching services and project pitching sessions connects project owners, investors and service providers with compatible business and investment needs to explore collaborations. Over 800 one-to-one business matching meetings were arranged, featuring over 280 investment projects the Belt and Road region and beyond, focusing on four major areas – (1) energy, natural resources and public utilities; (2) innovation and technology; (3) urban development; and (4) transportation and logistics infrastructure. It was another year of great success as companies worldwide gathered to exchange market intelligence and discuss concrete cooperation.

Entering a new decade of the Belt and Road Initiative, the pursuit of multidimensional connectivity and development of an open world economy will continue to be the keys for the international business community to capture the many opportunities under the latest global landscape. The upcoming Summit will continue to build on the concrete achievement in the past years to explore areas with promising prospects arising from the Initiative, connect potential business partners along the Belt and Road and facilitate concrete partnerships, fully capitalising Hong Kong’s long-established position as an effective platform to do Belt and Road businesses as well as the city’s role as both a “super connector” and a “super value-adder” for global businesses.
