Viewing the World Through the Window, GTC2023 will give an overview of China Cross-border Globalization Industry

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — According to a report released by Ernst & Young China in May this year, China’s domestic industry-wide outward foreign direct investment reached US$40.47 billion in the first quarter of 2023, a year-on-year increase of 18%.

In recent years, with the trend of globalization, more and more Chinese companies have developed abroad. The overseas market strategy of domestic enterprises can not only activate the exploration path of the enterprise’s second time growth, but also avoid fierce domestic competition. Among the many target countries, especially those with high investment enthusiasm from Chinese enterprises, the settlement of Chinese companies will create more growth and employment opportunities in these countries.

In order to support more Chinese companies quickly establish their business layout, and to build a communication bridge for high-quality overseas companies to access domestic business resources, Beluga Global will hold GTC2023 on December 5 and 6, 2023 (Shenzhen Futian CEC, Hall 7 & 8).

This forum will comprehensively display China’s cross-border overseas achievements through professional exhibitions and conferences.

This year’s GTC planned four technology-themed salons for technical personnel. They are AIGC Session, Technology Globalization Summit, R&D Efficiency Special Session and WEB3 Session. The four events invited elite experts in the technical field to provide suggestions for the technology research and development of globalization companies and realize technological changes.

The event will include four themed sections including novice camp, acceleration camp, efficiency improvement camp and regional market, and four game matchmaking meetings will be held. During the event, roadshows, publishers and investors of high-quality games will gather together.
