APEC China CEO Forum 2026
The upcoming APEC China CEO Forum, organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), marks a significant economic event scheduled to take place on June 21, 2026, in Beijing. This forum will coincide with the opening day of the fourth China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE), creating a robust platform for fostering collaboration among stakeholders in the Asia-Pacific region.
Objectives and Themes
The theme of this year's forum is "Openness, Connectivity, Synergy: Connecting the Asia-Pacific for a Shared Future." The event will feature an opening ceremony followed by three interactive panel discussions. Key representatives from the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), APEC Secretariat, Chinese governmental bodies, and leaders from Fortune Global 500 companies will convene to discuss pressing issues such as regional economic integration, connectivity, and digital innovation.
In addition to the discussions, the forum aims to evaluate and showcase the economic progress achieved during the APEC year in China. It will highlight the outcomes from the recent ABAC meeting in Mexico, which produced pivotal statements on the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area and a connectivity declaration. These results will support policy recommendations intended for presentation at the APEC Leaders' Summit.
Collaboration with the China International Supply Chain Expo
The APEC China CEO Forum will closely coordinate its activities with the ongoing China International Supply Chain Expo. The participating business representatives will not only engage in the forum but also attend the expo, meet exhibitors, participate in business matchmaking activities, and delve into discussions on global supply chain collaboration. This synergy aims to enhance the achievements of the APEC economic community by emphasizing the role of the Chinese economic sector in promoting regional economic integration, supporting an open economy, and strengthening industrial and supply chain cooperation.
Expected Outcomes
The dual focus of the APEC China CEO Forum and the China International Supply Chain Expo is expected to fortify business ties across the Asia-Pacific region, stimulating growth and innovation that leverages the unique strengths of participating nations. Attendees will gain insights, forge new partnerships, and collectively explore pathways for overcoming contemporary challenges in trade and cooperation. Ultimately, the forum seeks to contribute significantly to a more interconnected and prosperous Asia-Pacific community.
