In the wave of global economic integration and digital transformation, small and medium-sized enterprises, as an important engine of economic growth, are facing unprecedented opportunities and challenges.
As a leader in the overseas expansion of SMEs, Zhang Quan, deputy general manager of PDAEXSEA, was sincerely invited by the 2024 APEC SME Business Forum to gather with government representatives, business leaders, industry elites and SME representatives from the Asia-Pacific region in Bao'an, Shenzhen on the morning of December 18 to discuss new paths for the global development of SMEs and draw a grand blueprint for the globalization of SMEs.
The theme of this forum is "Innovation-driven, digital empowerment, inclusive cooperation, and joint growth promotion". It is co-organized by the Shenzhen Municipal People's Government, the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Promotion Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the China Small and Medium Enterprise International Cooperation Association, and hosted by the Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, Shenzhen Small and Medium Enterprise Service Bureau, Shenzhen Bao'an District People's Government, and Shenzhen Bay Area Small and Medium Enterprise International Innovation Exchange Center, and co-organized by the APEC Small and Medium Enterprise Service Alliance, the Hong Kong Small and Medium Enterprise Development Promotion Association, and the ASEAN + China-Japan-Korea Small and Medium Enterprise Service Alliance.
This forum not only carries the mission of implementing the results of the APEC Leaders' Informal Meeting, but will also become one of the annual events of business leaders with higher standards, greater international reputation and influence under the APEC mechanism.
At the 2024 APEC SME Business Forum results release and signing ceremony, we witnessed the cooperation and signing of all parties.
Let us see the broad prospects and unlimited possibilities of cross-regional cooperation. This also encourages Panda Overseas to actively explore cooperation opportunities with all parties, take advantage of the platform, realize resource sharing and complementary advantages, and further enhance our competitiveness in overseas markets.
In the keynote speech of the APEC SME Business Forum, the core words can be summarized as: "digitalization", "inclusive cooperation", "innovative development", "new quality productivity", "high-quality development", "global competitiveness", "deep cultivation" and "digital overseas expansion". These keywords together constitute the essence of the forum.
These keywords not only show the urgent need for SMEs to enhance their international competitiveness through digital transformation and intelligent upgrading in the context of global economic integration, but also emphasize the importance of SMEs in the Asia-Pacific region to share resources and seek common development through inclusive cooperation, and jointly outline the development path and direction of SMEs in the context of the new era.
Looking to the future, PDAEXSEA will continue to deepen its service field for SMEs going overseas, continuously innovate service models, and improve service quality. We will continue to use digital technology to optimize overseas strategies and provide SMEs with more accurate, efficient and comprehensive overseas services. At the same time, Panda Overseas will also actively participate in various international exchanges and cooperation activities to promote the global development of SMEs and help Chinese companies shine more brightly in the global market.
