  The outbound expansion of Chinese companies has entered a new phase, with the next few years expected to mark a significant acceleration and widening of the international drive of Chinese corporations.
  2014 will be the first year when Chinese investment outflows will surpass FDI inflows. The Chinese government took a major step at the end of 2013 to liberalize the regime for outbound investment, drastically simplifying the approval system, which until now had been a major obstacle for Chinese corporations planning to invest abroad.
  While a number of modalities still have to be worked out in 2014, the signal from the Chinese authorities is quite clear: A strong encouragement of the outbound drive of Chinese companies, recognizing that the time has come for many of them to expand their footprint outside the mainland. This will help them acquire the technologies and management knowhow that will improve their competitiveness domestically and internationally and make them global players – thus contributing to the further development and maturation of the Chinese economy.
  By the end of 2013, the total of China’s non-financial direct investment abroad had reached US$ 525 billion and the overall total of Chinese investment stood at US$ 750 billion. Chinese investors are now present in 153 countries around the world. What started as a drive to secure energy and commodities resources has now expanded to almost every sector of activity. ..more

The China Outbound Forum Mission


Created at a very timely moment when the drive for overseas expansion of Chinese companies is entering a new phase and gathering further momentum, The China Outbound Forum differentiates itself from existing conferences, which are more focused on promoting overseas investment locations. It is designed to support Chinese companies as they consider expanding their activities internationally – while also attracting mainland companies well established at the global level. The Forum is a platform bringing together Chinese senior executives and their interlocutors from foreign companies as well as from other sources of expertise and knowledge, with an agenda designed to cover the key issues and challenges that Chinese outbound companies need to address successfully as they move abroad.

Recognizing Innovation and Success


On the basis of extensive research, the Forum is identifying 50 Chinese companies that have proved particularly innovative and successful in their expansion overseas. A high profile event in the context of the Forum will recognize and honor these companies – allowing the participants to benefit from success stories. A Report on Chinese Companies Going Global will also be published and widely distributed to the media and public.
