On November 13, the "Eurasian Enterprises Chongqing Tour" concluded in Chongqing, marking the close of an event themed "Chongqing Embarks on a New Journey, Connecting Eurasia."
Representatives from domestic and international government and business circles, industry associations, and research institutions gathered in the city for in-depth discussions covering key sectors such as intelligent connected new energy vehicles, advanced materials, intelligent equipment, and biomedicine, producing a series of high-value, highly actionable cooperation outcomes.
The event attracted 195 foreign-funded enterprises and institutions as well as more than 260 overseas guests, spanning 29 countries and regions including Germany, France, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Singapore.
Among the participating companies, Fortune Global 500 firms, industry leaders, and hidden champions accounted for nearly 50%, while enterprises that have not yet invested in Chongqing exceeded 70%. Existing foreign-funded companies also actively took part and explored plans to increase capital and expand production. Overall, the event demonstrated a dense concentration of leading enterprises, high-level decision-makers, and strong industry alignment, achieving a shift toward "global expansion" in investment promotion.
A total of 28 projects were signed at the event, with contract values exceeding 20 billion yuan. The projects balanced foreign investment inflows with local companies going global, featuring both manufacturing entity projects that reinforce industrial growth and export orders from Chongqing enterprises that help local businesses explore Eurasian markets. The event also launched the CITIC Jinshi Chongqing Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative Fund and the European Shared Engineering Service Center, building momentum for continued deepening of industrial collaboration and the establishment of a regular cooperation platform.
The "Chongqing Enterprises Going Global Service Manual" released at the event integrates full-chain service guidelines covering corridor logistics, cross-border industry-finance integration, and intellectual property rights. The "Catalog of Products from Selected Chongqing Enterprises" covers approximately 500 products from 311 companies, forming a combined package of "investment opportunities + going-global services + product catalog." This serves both as a navigation guide for overseas investors looking to invest and establish operations in Chongqing and as a practical reference for Chongqing enterprises seeking to expand into Eurasian markets, powerfully advancing two-way connectivity and mutual benefit between Chongqing and Eurasia in investment, trade, and technological innovation.
Currently, Chongqing is vigorously promoting the deep integration of the "33618" modern manufacturing cluster system with the "203060" key breakthrough system, accelerating the improvement of the "416" scientific and technological innovation layout, and concentrating efforts on creating landmark achievements in advanced manufacturing development. Industrial opportunities, innovation resources, and application scenarios are rapidly converging. Chongqing will continue to leverage the strategic hub advantages of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor, join hands with CITIC Group to follow through on the latter half of the event's work, and continuously deepen practical cooperation with Eurasia in industrial and supply chains.
Quan Wei, Deputy Secretary-General of the Chongqing Municipal Government, introduced at the press conference that over the years, multiple Eurasian companies including BASF, Continental Group, and Suez Group have invested and established operations in Chongqing. To date, a total of 325 Fortune Global 500 companies have settled in Chongqing. These successful practices fully confirm that Chongqing is a fertile land worthy of long-term investment and long-term cultivation.
