Ma Xingrui, Governor of Guangdong, attended the conference and said Guangdong had been investing a great deal of effort in boosting Sino-European cooperation and welcomed European enterprises to invest in Guangdong.

“Enterprises are receiving more opportunities in Guangdong,” said Ma Xingrui, “because we are developing a law-based business environment and a series of emerging industries, such as ICT, intelligent equipment, new energy and healthcare.”

During the conference, 15 joint projects were signed off on between Guangdong and the enterprises in attendance. These projects cover a wide range of sectors including intelligent equipment, machinery engineering and medical equipment.

According to the Guangdong’s Department of Commerce, Guangdong is one of Europe’s most important trade partners in China. The import and export volume between Guangdong and Europe reached USD 115.5 billion in 2016, accounting for 17% of the total Sino-European trade volume.

Furthermore Guangdong’s outbound investment in Europe reached USD 490 million in 2016, which is a five fold increased on 2015.
