Mr. Robin Joffe,Partner, Managing Director, Middle East, Africa and South Asia, Frost & Sullivan
Partner and Managing Director of Frost & SullivanRobin JoffeThe sharing theme is 'Branding Globalization of Chinese Enterprises and How to Succeed in the Middle Eastern Market'. He pointed out that Middle Eastern countries represented by Saudi Arabia and the UAE are seeking diversified economic development in order to break away from excessive dependence on the oil economy. This provides great opportunities for Chinese enterprises in developing the Middle Eastern market. Especially in sectors with strong growth potential such as manufacturing, new energy, infrastructure construction, transportation logistics, finance, and tourism, Middle Eastern countries are becoming ideal destinations for Chinese enterprises' globalization expansion due to their friendly business environment and favorable investment policies.
Vice General Manager and Secretary of the Board of Greenme Mr. Pan Hua
Pan Hua, Deputy General Manager and Secretary of the Board of Directors of Greenplum, shared the theme 'Greenplum's Overseas Expansion Practice Report —— Technology Investment, Cultural Integration, and Growing Together with Indonesia'. He shared insights on the three major factors of green energy, urban mining, and future industry opportunities.2002year2Greenplum first introduced the concept of 'limited resources, infinite recycling' in China and actively advocated for mining urban mines to alleviate China's resource shortage and environmental pollution. Based on the urban mine model, Greenplum established a nickel-cobalt-lithium-Tungsten key mineral resources, waste batteries, electronic waste, scrapped vehicles, and waste plastics are recycled through industrial chains. At the same time, new energy materials are manufactured, promoting the establishment of a global new energy industry life cycle value chain that goes from 'green manufacturing to manufacturing green'. Green Energy Materials Group has gone global through its business expansion, serving the Belt and Road Initiative, and contributing to the industrial, technological, and cultural infrastructure development in Indonesia.
Head of Quick Warehouse Market Department Mr. Sun Di
Sun Di, Head of the Market Department at Kuaicang, delivered a speech titled 'Pressing the 'Accelerate' Button for Intelligent Logistics Going Global', discussing what Kuaicang has done. He would like to share on the development of overseas business in the near future. He pointed out that since2023Since the beginning of the year, the pace of mobile robots going global has accelerated. For most mobile robot manufacturers, going global is both an active choice and a passive necessity. On one hand, the tightening of domestic market demand and intensification of competition have made profitability increasingly difficult, and the consensus that 'without going global, one exits' has gradually taken root. On the other hand, China's mobile robot capabilities are becoming increasingly mature, capable and hopeful of participating in global market competition and reaping value. Kuaicang focuses more on product lines and innovation overseas, adopting the industry's most advanced 'big and small vehicles' combined application to significantly improve system efficiency.
Zhonglun Law Firm Huang Zixian
Lawyer Huang Zixian from Zhong Lun Law Firm shared the topic 'Legal Risks for Chinese Enterprises Going Global'. Share the main concerns of Chinese manufacturing enterprises going global and the major legal risks associated with their overseas operations. He pointed out that when going global, companies need to consider factors such as political stability, economic conditions, market potential, and cultural differences in target markets. For example, regions such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa are becoming hotspots for companies going global due to their development potential. During the process of going global, companies need to face different national laws and regulations, including contract legal risks, supply chain compliance risks, anti-money laundering and anti-corruption systems, etc.

Roundtable Discussion: New Opportunities for Chinese Enterprises' Overseas Development
Chinese enterprises are facing unprecedented overseas development opportunities and challenges. To delve deeper into this topic, A roundtable discussion themed 'New Opportunities for Overseas Development of Chinese Enterprises' will be held at the conference. Wang Ke, General Manager of Yinshan Capital, Pan Hua, Deputy General Manager and Secretary of the Board of Directors of Greenplum, Sun Di, Head of the Market Department at KuaiCang, and Lawyer Huang Zixian from Zhonglun Law Firm engaged in an in-depth discussion on hot topics such as multiple frontier issues for Chinese enterprises going global. They analyzed the trends of intelligent manufacturing industry development overseas from multiple dimensions, shared successful experiences, discussed innovative ideas, and aimed to promote the healthy development of Chinese enterprises in the global market. Xu Biao, Executive Director of Frost & Sullivan Greater China, served as the moderator of this roundtable discussion.
Wang Ke, Managing Director of Yinshan Capital It is proposed that Chinese enterprises going global can raise the ceiling of corporate growth, thereby increasing their attractiveness to investment institutions. When domestic enterprises enter overseas markets, they still need various professional service institutions including consulting companies as 'external brains' to help them better understand the current situation and trends of target markets and to help avoid various types of risks.
Pan Hua, Deputy General Manager and Secretary of the Board of Directors of Greenme It is pointed out that when Chinese enterprises carry out overseas business, in addition to paying attention to integrating into local culture, they also need to enable local employees to integrate into Chinese culture through various cultural exchange activities and cross-cultural training. Ultimately, this aims to achieve common growth between the enterprise and the local market.
Sun Di, Head of the Quick Warehouse Market Department It is indicated that the development of Kuaicang has gone through a process from focusing on the domestic market, to following logistics service providers overseas, and then to actively going global. Eventually, a dual-wheel drive model has been formed, with both the domestic and overseas markets driving each other. In this process, the continuous implementation of overseas projects has become a touchstone to continuously test the company's ability to go global.
Lawyer Huang Zixian from Zhonglun Law Firm Based on past experiences of domestic enterprises going global, it is pointed out that for domestic companies to go overseas, they first need to deeply understand the local legal framework, including industrial and tax policies. In particular, they must fully understand and strictly comply with foreign investment restrictions, intellectual property protection, data privacy protection, and other aspects. At the same time, they cannot overlook a series of regulatory and filing requirements set by the Chinese government regarding domestic enterprises' foreign investments.
