"AIM Talks China 2026" Officially Scheduled for June 17 in Guangzhou, China

Under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and with the support of the UAE Ministry of Foreign Trade, the globally leading investment platform — AIM Congress — continues to expand its footprint in China. This year, it will officially launch the "AIM Talks" series in Guangzhou, marking the platform's debut in one of the world's most dynamic economic regions: the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

H.E. Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade and Chairman of AIM Congress, stated: "In today's rapidly evolving global landscape, economic resilience has become a key measure of comprehensive strength. It is no longer an option but a strategic imperative that determines a nation's ability to adapt, grow, and stay ahead amid geopolitical, technological, and environmental changes. The UAE continues to earn global confidence by fostering a business environment that supports innovation, investment, and sustainable growth."

"AIM Talks China 2026" will take place on June 17 in Guangzhou's Tianhe CBD — one of China's three premier central business districts and a major economic engine of the Greater Bay Area, home to numerous multinational corporations, financial institutions, and high-growth innovative enterprises. A representative from the Guangzhou Tianhe CBD Administration Committee remarked: "Tianhe CBD will seize this opportunity to actively integrate into the broader China-UAE cooperation framework, helping establish Guangzhou as the gateway of choice for Gulf investors entering the Chinese market."

As a high-level international forum, "AIM Talks" will bring together policymakers, investors, and industry leaders to explore emerging opportunities and key challenges in areas such as industrial transformation, global supply chains, and sustainable trade, while further strengthening its role in shaping the future of global investment flows, cross-border collaboration, and economic integration.

The event will closely align with the development directions outlined in China's 15th Five-Year Plan, with a particular focus on high-quality development and new quality productive forces, highlighting the Greater Bay Area's role as a vital engine for global economic growth, industrial modernization, and technological advancement.

Discussions will center on two major themes: industrial transformation and supply chain resilience. Emphasis will be placed on Guangzhou's priority industries, including advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, robotics, new energy vehicles, low-altitude economy, and high-tech sectors. The event will also address the rapid growth of digital trade and cross-border e-commerce, exploring infrastructure and regulatory support for scalable, technology-driven business models.

Sustainability remains a core issue, with dedicated sessions on green trade, low-carbon industrial models, and environmental responsibility in investment strategies. Energy transition will also be a key focus, featuring in-depth exchanges on electric vehicle ecosystems, next-generation battery technologies, and smart energy infrastructure. In addition, the forum will spotlight life sciences and biomanufacturing — emerging growth areas driven by AI and scalable production capabilities.

Through these topics, the event aims to establish "AIM Talks" as a strategic platform that balances business insights with high-level collaboration, while also showcasing Guangzhou's accelerating transformation into a digitally empowered, innovation-led industrial ecosystem, increasingly serving as a key gateway for global trade and investment.
