Event Details

2020 is the last year of the 13th Five-year Plan as well as the significant year for planning the upcoming 14th, which is an essential turning point for transforming the current China's economy to the new normal with the quickening pace with high quality development. Especially the idea of new 'dual circulation' strategy, which was proposed by the meeting of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China for the first time in May 2020 will become the priority and it has been the main topic of intense discussion within and outside China ever since. What are other key industry points apart from the 'dual circulation' strategy? Are there any investment orientations which will ramp up further development?


Meanwhile, "Shanghai Regulations on Foreign Investment", to be released on Nov 1st, 2020 will deregulate the investment market. As a result, it will open up a brand-new pattern and further optimize the foreign investment environment in Shanghai.


AmCham Shanghai Trade & Investment Center cordially invites you to us for an event on Nov. 11th from 8:45am to 11am at AmCham Shanghai Conference Center. President from Shanghai Investment, representatives from USCBC, officials from Pudong Finance Service Bureau and Partner of Dentons as well as industry representatives will address the meeting and share their views on investment trends, business climate and looking ahead to investment opportunities in Shanghai.
