BEIJING, April 9 (Xinhua) -- The 2013 Fortune Global Forum1, a prestigious2 world business summit, will be held in the southwest Chinese city of Chengdu in June 2013, organizers announced Monday.
The forum, running from June 6 to 8, will bring the CEOs of the world's biggest
multinational3 companies as well as top government officials,
economists4, entrepreneurs,
investors5 and scholars to China for an event themed "China's New Future."
Andy Serwer, managing editor of U.S.-based Fortune Magazine, said China has an emerging role to play in the world market and
noted6 the dramatic growth of the country's western region.
Delegates will share deep insights into new trends in today's complex global economy and glimpse its future, he added.
It will be the fourth time China gets to host the forum,
initiated7 in 1995 by Fortune Magazine. Shanghai, Hong Kong and Beijing have held the annual
gathering8 previously9, in 1999, 2001 and 2005 respectively.
Chengdu is the ideal place to hold the Fortune Global Forum. The city is in the heart of China's booming west and is becoming a leading center for higher education, a diverse range of technologies and industries, logistics and services to attract global companies, said Serwer.
Eyeing its preferential policies and vast market, more than 200 Fortune Global 500 companies have already set up operations in Chengdu, with their facilities in the city including research centers, plants and regional headquarters.
"This shows a larger trend of Fortune Global 500's moving forward to western China and a
migration10 of industry to a developing country," according to Serwer.
