I. Background
The 16th Sino-European Entrepreneurs Summit brings a Chinese delegation of 40+ executives across finance, renewable energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology sectors to Madrid between2-5 June.
Sino-European Entrepreneurs Summit (SEES) has been held 15 times in Europe and China since 2008. Once a year, we organise for approximately 100 chairpersons and senior executives of leading Chinese companies from select industries to visit Europe. The purpose of our programs is to help Chinese business leaders and their European counterparts build personal relationships and share industry insights with one another. Ultimately, we work towards establishing investment, trade and technology partnerships.
SEES is organised by the Sino-International Entrepreneurs Federation (SIEF), a non-profit, non-partisan organisation incorporated in Switzerland and headquartered in Beijing.
II. Objectives
• Strengthen Sino-European Industrial Synergy: Facilitate cross-border collaboration in green transition, digital innovation, and healthcare resilience, leveraging IESE’s global network and China’s market dynamism.
• Accelerate New Quality Productivity: Promote joint ventures in AI, renewable energy, and biotech through curated matchmaking between Chinese enterprises and European SMEs/unicorns.
• Build ESG Leadership: Share best practices in sustainable manufacturing and circular economy models, aligning with IESE’s “Business with Human Dignity” framework.
