The Chinese government has established a fundamentally new vision for economic development. Understanding China’s 2021-2025 Five-Year plan (FYP) and how your sector can benefit will help drive your China market success. Canadian companies that can contribute to China’s new objectives are likely to thrive; those that cannot may face a more difficult operating environment in the years to come. CCBC has partnered with Trivium China to produce an in-depth report on the plan, Confidence and Complexity: Initial Findings of the 14th Five-Year Plan for Canadian Companies in China, with a focus on five sectors critical to Canada’s trade and investment relationship with China: financial services, agribusiness, natural resources, energy, and cleantech.

Nearly 300 registrants joined CCBC, along with Trivium China and an expert panel of global business leaders, for a series of data-driven panels and discussions to help Canadian businesses seize upcoming China market opportunities. We leveraged recently available data to give Canadian companies a deeper dive into the opportunities and how to incorporate them into your China strategy, and show how companies can practically use the 14th FYP goals to strengthen their value proposition.

The day began at 11 am EDT with a Main Seminar presentation from Trivium China, followed by interactive, case study-led Breakout Sessions that explored four key sectors: agrifood, natural resources, financial services and energy. Cleantech was incorporated into all Breakouts. Led by CCBC Chapter Directors and Trivium China experts with guest speakers from RBC, Alibaba Group, Tmall Global, Unilia Fuel Cells Inc. and Vale, these Breakout Sessions were critical for attendees looking to gain a deeper understanding of market opportunities and featured case studies of how companies have used prior FYPs.

We were pleased to feature remarks from both countries’ ambassadors: H.E. Dominic Barton, Ambassador of Canada to the People’s Republic of China, and H.E. CONG Peiwu, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Canada.

Member tickets were $25 + tax for the Main Seminar/$50 + tax for full-event access. Non-Member tickets were $50 + tax for the Main Seminar/$75 + tax for full-event access.
