How to lead Chongqing's private enterprises to achieve more fruitful results in “going global in groups” in 2024?

Huang Xin, Vice Chairman of Chongqing Federation of Industry and Commerce, suggested that Chongqing Chamber of Commerce for International Cooperation in Private Economy should build a cooperation platform for “going global”, focusing on promoting the implementation of the "Seven Action Plans" on export of equipment capacity, upgrading of investment and technology attracting, improvement of foreign trade, promotion of foreign trade, innovation in services and trade, construction of cooperation platforms, and expansion of cultural exchanges, in order to solve difficulties for member enterprises in going global.

At the same time, the Chamber should play a demonstrative and leading role in guiding its members to "go global", especially companies such as Seres, Panhua and Runtong. It should leverage their own advantages in interpersonal network, fund, information, etc. to lead and drive upstream and downstream industrial chains and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises to participate in international cooperation, connect with overseas resources, and expand overseas markets.

Huang Xin also suggested that the Chamber should play its dominant role in "going global", assist member enterprises in seizing business opportunities, play a leading role in investment and financing, and risk prevention, help enterprises understand the international economic situation, prevent and resolve overseas risks, and continue to deepen international cooperation.
