Guangzhou looks for innovation-driven economic growth

The Guangzhou municipal government held a forum in Shanghai on Thursday to discuss open perspectives and innovative approaches for continued economic development.
Guangzhou and Shanghai serve as significant national central cities, and have grown into major international hubs with both capitals representing China’s growth and development opportunities for domestic champions and global enterprises, alike.
The two regions are home to many of the 115 Chinese firms on the 2017 Fortune Global 500 list, and have attracted attention from leading overseas firms as well.
The event welcomed government officials, executives from leading international enterprises as well as Clay Chandler, executive editor, international for Time Inc and a co-chair of the Fortune Global Forum.
