The Business Environment in the Greater Bay Area 
The Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area, also simply known as the Greater Bay Area (GBA), is a megalopolis with the largest and most populated urban area among the four largest bay areas in the world. It consists of nine cities in China's Guangdong Province, being Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Huizhou, Jiangmen & Zhaoqing, as well as the two special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macao. The total population is 86 million people, or 5% of China's total, and is expected to rach 100 million by 2030. Since the announcement of the outline GBA development plan in 2019, the total GDP of the area has surpassed 13 trillion yuan. Already today, GBA is not only a huge and dynamic consumer market, but also a critical export hub accounting 37 % of China's exports. The GBA infrastructure includes five international airports, advanced high-speed railway connections, and three of the World's top ten container ports.

In December 2023, China revealed a three-year action plan for the GBA focusing on increasing openness in Mainland China's financial sector with the intention of enhancing the market environment in the GBA. The plan envisions simplified market entry procedures and institutional barrier elimination in order to reduce costs and promote a sound ecosystem for business and intends to ease regulatory standards potentially boosting the attractiveness of the GBA for foreign enterprises.

While the regulations and integration of the area are only starting to take shape these years, the GBA is envisioned by Chinese Government planners to become an integrated economic area by 2035.

Event: Webinar


Click here to register (for DCBF, DCCC and DCCHK members only).

In the most recent RE100 annual report, China (along with Japan, South Korea and Singapore) is cited as one of the more challenging markets for procuring renewable electricity. However, along with challenges come opportunities for those companies who are willing to move ahead and overcome the barriers and show climate leadership in these markets.

This focused discussion accompanied by opportunities for questions will cover topics like:

• An analysis of how companies are currently navigating the market and sourcing RE (which solutions are currently the most popular, which are emerging, etc.)

Greener Together: New Technology for Reliable Carbon Accounting & Reduction

Date: October 12, 2023

Time: 9:30-11:30 a.m. DK/ 3:30-5:30 p.m. CN

Event: Supported Webinar


This webinar is part of the Greener Together: China-Nordic Dialogue on Carbon Neutrality campaign organised by the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, FinnCham in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, the Norwegian Business Association China, and supported by Danish-Chinese Business Forum. 

For many businesses, the main hurdles lie in acquiring reliable and traceable data pertaining to their carbon emission activities. Traditional methods often fall short, making it a challenge, if not an impossibility, to obtain first-hand data for accurate calculation and thorough analysis. This is where digital solutions shine, offering a lifeline to enterprises that aim to streamline and automate these processes.

This seminar will introduce the concept of Environmentally Extended Input-Output (EEIO). EEIO serving as an authoritative methodology to estimate and analyze emissions with heightened efficiency. By leveraging this approach, businesses can avoid the complications often associated with conventional carbon accounting standards.

The seminar will delve deep into how new technology can help businesses to harness data for real-time identification of energy-saving opportunities and how to equip and empower your enterprise to make more informed, sustainable, and financially sound decisions regarding carbon management.

Over the past few years, China has imposed some restrictions on cross-border data transfers.

It is important for companies that operate in China to take compliance actions as soon as possible to avoid legal consequences. 

In this webinar, our speaker, Samuel Yang, Partner at AnJie Broad Law Firm, will introduce all that you need to know about the SCCs, including:

  • The Chinese cross-border data transfer legal regime: Samuel will introduce the basic legal framework for cross-border data transfers in China, which consists of three "legal paths".

  • Challenges that lie ahead and how to address them: Samuel will then share his insight into the common problems that companies encounter during the filing process based on his rich practical experience.
  • Necessary steps: Samuel will finally break down the whole process into practical steps, so that companies can conduct the work in a structured manner.
