On the morning of September 6, Beijing International Cooperation Forum and CBD 
Forum, the main forum of 2022 Beijing CBD International Business Season, 
opened. 
    
Chaoyang District government has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with 
the International Cooperation Center of the National Development and Reform 
Commission. In the future, the two sides will promote the gathering of even 
more international resources in CBD, facilitate enterprises to implement the 
"going global" and "bringing in" strategies, and carry out a series of pilot 
projects in application of new consumption scenarios, green finance and green 
consumption.

The Beijing CBD International Business Festival (formerly known as the Beijing 
CBD Business Festival) has been successfully held for 22 times and it is one of 
the most important business activities in Beijing. At present, Beijing CBD is 
accelerating the pace to gather new consumer products, new brands and new 
business forms, in the endeavor to create a world-class business circle worth 
hundreds of billions of yuan.  
    
In 2021, more than 400 first stores were launched in Beijing CBD, which made 
the area top the city in this regard; and more than one third of all 
international brands have landed in the area. Among the altogether 34 Michelin 
restaurants in Beijing, 34 are located in CBD, accounting for nearly 60% of the 
total. Moreover, Beijing CBD is home to more than 60% of all the Black Pearl 
restaurants and nearly 50% of all the cafes of the city and the area has the 
highest concentration of international elements in the city.

According to the Beijing CBD Management Committee, in recent years, Beijing 
CBD, by taking advantage of favorable policies, has launched the Beijing CBD 
international business service platform, the cross-border trade digital service 
platform, the cross-border trade risk service platform, the foreign exchange 
derivative service platform, Beijing International Commercial Dispute 
Resolution Center, Beijing International Art Auction and Trading Center, and 
B&R - RCEP Innovation Service Center. Besides, China's first L4 high-precision 
city-level digital twin platform has been built, featuring the CBD Digital 
Virtual Conference Room, and the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Cloud Center. 

Themed "Deeply integrating into global cooperation and enhancing the city's 
opening-up vitality", the forum focuses on the CBD development in the context 
of globalization, fully taps Beijing CBD's strengths in gathering international 
high-end resources, and promotes the integrated development of various 
international factors, with a view of enhancing the openness and vitality of 
Beijing CBD. 
     
Under the guidance of the International Cooperation Center of the National 
Development and Reform Commission and China Public Diplomacy Association, the 
Forum was co-organized by the Chaoyang District People's Government of Beijing 
Municipality, the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission and the 
Foreign Affairs Office of the Beijing Municipal People's Government. The Forum 
won support from national platforms and international organizations such as the 
Global Business Districts Innovation Club and China CBD Alliance.
