Event Details

Following the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, focus has turned to the "Proposition" (Jianyi) guiding China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030). Building on the established "Dual Circulation" framework, the plan is expected to refine six core priorities: domestic demand, social rebalancing, de-risking, high-level opening-up, market reforms, and industrial upgrading. Recent policy signals emphasize advancing industrial upgrading and market reforms to drive productivity and consumption, while integrating emerging themes—such as "anti-involution," "AI+," and "investing in people"—to strengthen social security and urban livability. Certain development-security measures may also be adjusted in light of progress achieved under the 14th FYP.


To help business leaders navigate these evolving priorities,SwissCham East—in collaboration with AustCham Shanghai, the Benelux Chamber of Commerce Chapter Shanghai, BritCham Shanghai, China-Italy Chamber of Commerce, Danish Chamber of Commerce, and FinnCham China—invites CEOs, Managing Directors, and senior executives from foreign industrial companies operating in China to an interchamber breakfast meeting on Thursday, March 12th. The session will explore how the strategic positioning and policy directives outlined in the recent Two Sessions and the Five-Year Plan will impact foreign companies operating in China over the next five years, delivering strategic insights into the plan's implications for foreign enterprises. A dynamic discussion among distinguished KOLs—including but not limited to topics such as how companies should re-align their KPIs according to China's trajectory, how they must adapt in balancing localization versus global standards, and how the push for self-reliance will affect their operations—will offer C-suite leaders a focused platform to exchange perspectives and align strategies ahead of upcoming policy developments.

在中共二十届四中全会闭幕之后，政策焦点已转向指导中国"十五五"规划（2026–2030年）的《建议》。该规划将在既有"双循环"框架下深化六大核心方向：扩大内需、社会再平衡、风险化解、高水平开放、市场改革及产业升级。近期中央政治局释放的信号表明，政策将兼顾宏观社会承诺与产业升级、市场改革的具体推进——反映北京仍以工业升级驱动生产力、收入与消费提升。规划亦可能纳入"反内卷""AI+""人力投资"等新兴议题，通过强化社会保障与城市宜居性，同时适度调整"发展安全"相关措施（基于"十四五"期间取得的阶段性成果）。


为协助企业决策者把握政策脉络，瑞士商会华东区联合澳大利亚商会-上海、上海荷比卢商会、上海英国商会、意大利-中国商会、丹麦商会及芬兰商会，诚邀在华外资工业企业的首席执行官、董事总经理及高管，出席3月12日（周四）的联合商会早餐会。本次活动将深入探讨近期两会及五年规划中提出的战略定位与政策指引，如何影响未来五年在华外资企业的运营，为外资企业解读规划的战略意义。多位知名意见领袖将展开深度对话，议题涵盖：企业如何根据中国发展轨迹调整关键绩效指标、如何在本土化与全球标准间寻求平衡、以及自力更生战略将如何影响企业运营等。这场高管级别的思想碰撞，将为企业高层提供聚焦平台，助力其在政策动向明朗前交流观点、调整战略布局。
