In accordance with the theme of the Summit ‘High Quality Economy – Better Life’, GHMS will aim to address the major concerns of the equipment manufacturing industry, and become instrumental in showing the way forward for future growth and advancement of the industry.

GHMS will be hosted by Changsha Municipal Government and organized by Changsha Convention & Exhibition Management Office and Asia-Pacific Fortune (Beijing) Economic Consulting Center during the Exhibition. It will bring together global leaders from the Fortune Global 500, Forbes Global 2000, top 500 manufacturers, 100 industrial investors, 100 industrial innovators, global top 5000 investment companies, world-renowned experts, scholars, investors, financiers and other important figures. They will discuss issues of high-end manufacturing development and lend an authoritative voice to the development of the real economy.

The Summit will release the “Global Top 500 High-End Manufacturing Companies” and “High-End Manufacturing Industry Changsha Index”, issue the Global High-End Manufacturing Changsha Declaration, promote the establishment of international high-end manufacturing industrial funds, and optimize global allocation of high-end manufacturing resources.

Special attention will be paid to industries such as global equipment manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing, construction machinery, rail transit, electronic information, artificial intelligence, biochemistry, medical care, new materials and new energy; and topics such as industrial internet, artificial intelligence, new energy and materials, and the green era of rail transit.

A highlight will be the release of a global high-end manufacturing cutting-edge technology/project, besides which, high-tech projects involving artificial intelligence and robots, smart homes, unmanned cars, and flexible hybrid electronics, will be launched.

Under the framework of the Summit, the host will establish a global high-end manufacturing laboratory, a world-class manufacturing industrial park, a manufacturing information center of world-renowned institutions, and a trading center of global manufacturing industry.

The construction machinery industry is an important part of high-end manufacturing. Professional partners, attracted by the Summit, will enrich the Exhibition with international resources, enhance its international prestige, and increase its influence worldwide. The Exhibition will also provide more cooperation opportunities for the Summit and consolidate its objectives.

The GHMS will fully utilize advantages of Changsha’s manufacturing industry, actively serve Changsha’s manufacturing industry development strategy, form an international atmosphere of “global high-end manufacturing gathering in Changsha”, and constantly invest projects, technologies, brands and capital resources for industrial development. This may drive international manufacturing brands to set headquarters in Changsha, and promote economy development in Central China, which will play a positive role in promoting China’s manufacturing industry.

As the international sponsor of the Summit, APCEO has adhered to the basic concept of “industrial development being the core of economic development” for decades. It has deeply ploughed into various fields of international industries and has become the world’s most authoritative international economic organization with abundant industrial resources, and the fastest mobilizer of resources.

Zheng Xiongwei, a well-known international economist and global executive chairman of APCEO, pointed out that high-end manufacturing is the fundamental force for development of the world economy and dynamic process of continuous progress. Guided by the new round of technological revolution, the industrial technology system, production mode and organizational form will see major changes. The global manufacturing industry will present a new high-end development trend featuring intelligence, networking, service and sustainability.

Zheng Xiongwei said that from January to July this year, the actual use of foreign capital in China’s manufacturing industry was 150.81 billion yuan, up 8.8% year on year; the actual use of foreign capital in high-tech manufacturing industry was 48.78 billion yuan, up 31% year on year. At the same time, investment in China has also been outstanding. In the first eight months of this year, America’s investment in China increased by 23.6% year on year, and investment has increased by 26.3% year on year from countries along the “Belt and Road”. In view of all this, China’s high-end manufacturing industry (as seen in Changsha) has a broad space for international cooperation.
