The 2014 International Cooperation and Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Service Forum, being an integral part of the 18th China International Fair for Investment & Trade (CIFIT), will be held on Sept 8 in Xiamen.

Local governments, industrial high-tech parks and the environmental protection industry will take part in this global M&A leadership dialogue, to get to know the global trend of emerging industries, look for ideal technologies and markets for regional development, and facilitate regional industrial transformation and upgrading.

Themed on “seizing the strategic opportunity of global technology transfer”, the forum will discuss the new model for small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) in China to engage in a new round of international M&As. It will also explain policies and approaches to seize the opportunity of international M&As and cooperation in global technology transfer, which will provide enterprises and governments with solutions to take the lead in the new round of development.

This forum will have a special high-end closed-door session, which will conduct direct and in-depth analysis of Chinese enterprises’ problems in progressing internationally, represent successful cases of international M&As, and aim to give the keys to success of international M&As to participants. Not surprisingly, the session has attracted the attention of numerous SMEs intending to develop international business after the release of the schedule.

The forum will build a bridge for SMEs to engage in international cooperation, and provide them with solutions for global technology transfers and regional transformation and upgrading. It will cover the perspectives of industrial policy orientation, the strengthening of enterprises’ interior environment and professional international M&A services.
