2025 Shenzhen Hong Kong Cooperation Forum


2025 Shenzhen Hong Kong Cooperation Forum


Information


The Sino-US trade war continues to exert profound impacts on the global supply chain landscape. As core cities within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Hong Kong and Shenzhen should proactively explore collaborative pathways for supply chain restructuring to enhance regional economic resilience. Concurrently, against the backdrop of digital economy advancement and consumption upgrading, the cultural, creative and tourism industry has emerged as a new engine driving economic growth.


With this in mind, China Development Institute and One Country Two Systems Research Institute jointly organized the 3rd Shenzhen Hong Kong Cooperation Forum on July 11, 2025. Centered on the dual themes of "Supply Chain Restructuring" and "Cultural Tourism Industry Innovation," the forum convened experts and scholars from both cities to jointly strategize synergistic development approaches.
