At the 26th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT), the China-Europe ESG Dialogue and China-Germany Provincial-State Investment Cooperation Forum convened here on Wednesday, bringing 50+ representatives from German states, institutions and companies together with Chinese provinces, cities, industrial parks and enterprises.

Discussions covered ESG, smart manufacturing, AI, new energy vehicles and biomedicine. Jiangsu's parks and enterprises joined the dialogue, sharing green development practices and going-global experience. The forum builds on three years of the China-Europe ESG Best Practice Conference, extending that exchange at the sub-national level as German states and Chinese provinces explore practical alignment under the ESG framework.
