During the conference, Li Jiheng, secretary of Inner Mongolia Party Committee, gave a speech to introduce the current development and investment environment of the region, and conveyed his welcome to large corporations and businesses coming to the area for collaborations.

In recent years, Inner Mongolia has built firm partnerships with several business giants, including China National Petroleum Corporation, China National Offshore Oil Corporation, Aluminum Corporation of China Limited, and State Grid Corporation of China, achieving mutually beneficial relationships and improving the region’s economic and social development.

Thanks to its location, the region has taken steps in implementing national strategies for China’s Belt and Road Initiative and the China-Russia-Mongolia Economic Corridor.

During the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020), Inner Mongolia has focused on the industrial sectors of clean energy, new metal materials, environmental protection, big data, cloud computing, biotechnologies, Mongolian medicines, and tourism.

State-owned giants have mature developing models and comprehensive strategies, which will broaden the range of potential cooperation fields.

Parallel sessions convened to introduce nine cities and leagues, including Baotou, Ordos, Hinggan League, Xilin Gol League, Ulanqab, Wuhai, Bayannur and Alxa League, all seeking to start negotiations and sign trade contracts.
