On 20 November, European Chamber Vice President and South China Board Chair Fabian Blake spoke at Shenzhen CCPIT’s Autumn Gathering, part of the Shenzhen Global Business and Trade Networking Conference.
In his speech, he stressed the Chamber’s commitment to strengthening ties with the Shenzhen government and highlighted the important role the Chamber plays in supporting the city’s progress in artificial intelligence and digital transformation. These efforts create a more favourable environment and expanded opportunities for EU SMEs seeking to grow and innovate in Shenzhen.
Blake explained how the Chamber brings EU SME priorities into local policy discussions, supports access to emerging sectors such as AI, and helps members better understand and adapt to digital economy regulations. This enables European businesses to integrate more effectively into Shenzhen’s fast developing technology landscape.
The conference was also attended by Shenzhen CCPIT Deputy Director General Yang Haobo and Consuls General from Uzbekistan, Mexico, and Thailand, reflecting Shenzhen’s position as a key hub for international business exchange and cooperation.
By deepening collaboration between government and business and promoting AI and digital transformation, the European Chamber is building a stronger ecosystem for EU SMEs, ensuring they can take full advantage of Shenzhen’s momentum as a smart and globally connected city.
