CBD Forum | Cross-Sector Synergy for a New Era of Global Collaboration
Beijing CBD in June
Beijing CBD came alive this June with the globally anticipated 2025 Beijing CBD Forum Annual Conference, held under its permanent theme — “Dialogue with the World, Jointly Shaping Development.”
Featuring intercontinental exchanges, multi-sector parallel forums, extensive media coverage, and immersive citywide promotion, the event built a high-efficiency, multi-dimensional platform for global cooperation.
Broad reach and deep integration of Asian and global perspectives
The conference drew strong international attention, achieving 80% coverage across Asia and attracting over 20 Asian mayors, more than 30 representatives from international organizations and business associations, as well as over 6,000 participants from around the world — including members of the Global Business Districts Innovation Club (GBD Innovation Club) and the China Business Districts Alliance.
Through deep collaboration with international organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Forum not only fostered dialogue among cities worldwide but also provided an important cooperation platform for Asia’s low-carbon transition and sustainable development. This year, for the first time, the Forum hosted a series of events in Bangkok, Thailand, bringing together diverse perspectives and collective expertise to jointly build an efficient, open, and globally connected innovation network.
The diverse international participation infused the Forum with a global perspective and cutting-edge ideas, further expanding the international influence of Beijing CBD.

The 2025 Beijing CBD Forum Annual Conference featured “one Opening Ceremony & Multinational Corporation Conference + four flagship international events + numerous parallel forums”, covering a wide range of fields, including finance, global business expansion, international investment, foreign-related legal services, and the cultural industries.
These diverse parallel forums not only provided a platform for industry professionals to exchange ideas, but also injected fresh momentum into the international development of Beijing CBD.
