From June 24 to 26, CITIC Group, in collaboration with Guangxi Zhuang autonomous regional government, hosted the "2026 Guangxi Tour for International Enterprises" event. It brought together more than 220 enterprises from over 30 countries and regions, serving as a platform to link global resources with local industries in Guangxi. 

On June 25, the Industrial Cooperation Conference took place in Nanning. Xi Guohua, chairman of CITIC Group, said the event provided all parties with a platform to better understand the Chinese market and explore investment opportunities. CITIC will take this event as an opportunity to work with all partners to open a new chapter of cooperation.

First, CITIC will work with partners to seize new opportunities for openness and win-win cooperation. It will actively support Guangxi's participation in major initiatives such as New Western Land-Sea Corridor and the Pinglu Canal Economic Belt, while offering tailored services to help enterprises invest in Guangxi and succeed in Guangxi. Second, CITIC will help build a new ecosystem for leapfrog development, providing targeted support for Guangxi-based specialized and innovative enterprises, hidden champions and potential listed companies. It will deepen joint technological research, co-creation, and resource-sharing in high-end manufacturing, advanced materials, and bio-breeding industries. Third, CITIC will contribute to a new chapter in the cultural and economic development of Guangxi through international exchanges. 

The conference also featured a special promotion session. Wu Jun, CEO of CITIC Telecom International, discussed how AI and data can empower industry cooperation and cross-border digital services. Jerome Vanachter, president of Lesaffre Greater China, shared experiences regarding investing and conducting business in Guangxi. The event saw the launch of several initiatives, such as an investment platform, a Guangxi-ASEAN AI Index, and a list of cooperation opportunities in Guangxi, as well as the signing of multiple cooperation projects.

Throughout the event, specialized sessions focused on AI technology and cross-border industry collaborations were held, alongside enterprise delegation visits to cities such as Nanning, Liuzhou, Fangchenggang, Qinzhou, and Chongzuo to gain deeper insights into the local investment landscape. 

As a landmark cooperation initiative launched by CITIC Group and local governments to serve foreign trade and investment, the "International Enterprises China Tours" have been held in Chongqing, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Zhejiang and Hainan, fostering consistent multilateral cooperation and promoting cross-border capital flows and international industrial cooperation. Moving forward, CITIC Group will continue to build on its service brands, "CITIC, your trusted partner for going global and coming to China", to help more partners invest in China and succeed in China.
