In the next step, the Investment Promotion Bureau is willing to work with the Center for the Promotion of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, with this forum as the carrier, to deeply visit and investigate small and medium-sized enterprises, to understand the pain points of enterprise development, to mine project information, and to better serve the development of small and medium-sized enterprises by relying on the cross-border industrial platform of the Investment Promotion Bureau.
