Emerging Corridors: Regional Competitiveness and China's Economic Growth Perspective (Invite only)

China's economy is undergoing significant structural change, and in the process, its map of growth is being redrawn. Cities and provinces across the country are racing to attract talent, build knowledge ecosystems, and create conditions that keep innovators and investors coming back. Beyond the obvious centers, a new set of corridors has emerged: clusters of cities and regions with formidable strengths in AI, advanced manufacturing, and deep tech, backed by strong university-industry linkages and targeted government policy incentives. In this session, panelists will examine how these corridors are bucking structural headwinds, where capital is following, and what lessons they offer investors and policymakers watching from the outside.
