Highlight 1: First European Branch Venue Expanding Global Digital Cooperation Network<\/b><\/p>\n

The Global Digital Economy Conference, as a flagship platform promoting international exchange and cooperation in digital friendship, has successfully held four sessions since its founding in 2021, accumulating widespread influence globally. As a core participant in the conference, Beijing<\/span> has actively played a leading role, having initiated the Global Digital Economy Partner Cities Cooperation Initiative with 30 international cities, promoting the construction of an open innovation network for the digital economy between global cities and within international multilateral and bilateral frameworks.<\/p>\n

This conference enters Europe<\/span> for the first time and is being held concurrently with the MWC World Mobile Congress, which will further expand the global digital economy partner network, deepening inter-connectivity and interoperability in the digital economy field between Europe<\/span>, Asia<\/span>, and other regions worldwide.<\/p>\n

Highlight 2: Distinguished Guest Lineup Discussing Digital Cooperation Development<\/b><\/p>\n

The Barcelona<\/span> venue will feature a variety of activities, including the “Digital Economy International Cooperation Forum” and the “Beijing Night” enterprise exchange event. Of particular note is the participation of leaders from the Catalonia Trade & Investment Agency, the Director of the International Economic Promotion Office of the Barcelona City Government, the President of the China-Europe Digital Association, the President of GSMA Greater China, and the Chief Procurement Officer of Faurecia Automotive International, among others.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, leaders and experts from China<\/span> and Europe<\/span> will engage in in-depth discussions on topics such as digital economy development trends, international cooperation experiences, digital enterprise overseas expansion, and digital technology empowerment application scenarios, jointly promoting new developments in China<\/span>–Europe<\/span> digital economy cooperation.<\/p>\n

Highlight 3: Establishing European Overseas Service Center to Support Efficient Business Expansion Overseas<\/b><\/p>\n

The Beijing Digital Economy Enterprise Overseas Innovation Service Base, as a landmark project in Beijing’s<\/span> construction as a global digital economy benchmark city, has become a key initiative for the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology to promote international cooperation in the digital economy. During the event, strategic cooperation agreements will be signed with organizations such as the Barcelona<\/span> Chamber of Commerce, exploring the establishment of the first European Overseas Service Center and further expanding the international cooperation network with Europe<\/span>. The Overseas Service Base will closely connect with the Spanish government, business associations, overseas service ecosystems, and business resources, and will take the lead in building channels for demand and supply matching, collecting global orders, and attracting global digital economy enterprises to focus on and establish a presence in Beijing<\/span>. This will inject continuous momentum into the high-quality development of Beijing’s<\/span> digital economy.<\/p>\n

At the forum, the first-ever introduction of typical digital economy solutions from Beijing<\/span> will be launched, targeting the needs of the Spanish and European markets. The focus will be on key industry sectors such as smart energy, autonomous driving, smart logistics, cross-border e-commerce, and AI large models. Leading companies and advanced technologies in these industries will be showcased to facilitate precise matchmaking between Chinese and Spanish, as well as Chinese and European businesses, helping Beijing’s<\/span> digital technology enterprises expand efficiently overseas.<\/p>\n

GSMA will also collaborate with the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology to finalize and sign multiple strategic cooperation agreements.<\/p>\n

Highlight 4: Active Enterprise Participation Building China-Europe Digital Economy Exchange Bridge<\/b><\/p>\n

In addition to the Digital Economy International Cooperation Forum, the “Beijing Night” enterprise exchange will also be a major highlight of this conference. This exchange will showcase the development achievements of Beijing’s<\/span> digital economy while providing a quality platform for direct dialogue and in-depth negotiations between Chinese and foreign enterprises, promoting exchanges and cooperation in technology, markets, talent and other aspects.<\/p>\n

The conference has already received active responses from many enterprises, with Chinese companies including Huawei, Yonyou Network, iSoftStone, China Telecom, and ZTE, and foreign companies including SEAT, Faurecia Automotive, Stefani International Exchange, ROCA, and Spanish Babylan confirming attendance. More than 150 Chinese and foreign enterprise executives are expected to attend, conducting over 20 government-enterprise connection activities.<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that among the participating enterprises, there are many telecommunications companies. As a national value-added telecommunications business pilot city, since being approved to carry out pilot work in 2024, Beijing<\/span> has actively helped enterprises promote Beijing’s<\/span> value-added telecommunications business abroad. Through exchanges and cooperation with overseas telecommunications enterprises, it expands cooperation opportunities and achieves mutual benefits and win-win. With this Global Digital Economy Conference being held concurrently with the WMC World Mobile Congress, Chinese enterprises will also leverage platform advantages to actively conduct preliminary connections with overseas telecommunications enterprises, vigorously promote cooperation, and jointly promote the development of the global digital economy.<\/p>\n
