China’s “One Belt And One Road” strategy is a major focus point in the country’s economic development plans, and has the world’s attention. Building the Silk Road Economic Belt will help create new cooperation opportunities with partner nations, as well as facilitate the international development of Chinese SMEs. China has modified its economic and innovation strategy by moving away from high-speed and toward moderate growth, with continued upgrades to economic structure, while entering into the digital, connected, internet age.

Former German President Wulff elaborated two business opportunity: modernization of enterprises and urbanization. Chinese government and German government can cooperate more closely. Plenty of manufacturing enterprises which became main force of innovation are from small towns in Germany. In China, urbanization arouses the development of society and economy in rural areas.

Mr. Lee Soo-sung, Former Prime Minister of Republic of Korea, delivered a keynote speech in cooperation and exchange between Chinese and Korean SMEs. Mr. Lee pointed out that all the enterprises have a fair competition on the platform of globalization. Only SMEs work together can make win-win benefits. Based on the 5000 years’ exchange history, China and Korea have a deep sense of cultural identity which has become the cornerstone of SME cooperation. This year is the 23th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Republic of Korea. There are diverse exchanges in various fields. From economical aspects, China is a dominant trading partner of Korea. Exchange among SMEs increased every year. East Asia builds the world’s largest economic circle. As a new starting point of SME exchange, Internet shall be used as the platform to expand areas of SME cooperation between China and Korea.
