Hengqin occupies a unique position within China’s development landscape. As a special cooperation zone closely associated with Macau and located just minutes away, Hengqin has been designated as a platform for cross-border innovation, services, and international exchange. Its integration with Macau’s global connectivity and institutional strengths makes the Hengqin–Macau area an increasingly important gateway linking the Greater Bay Area with wider Asian and global markets. The Horasis Asia Meeting will conclude with a half-day program in Macau, underscoring the close functional and geographic ties between the two locations.
Against this backdrop, the Horasis Asia Meeting will focus on the forces reshaping Asia’s economies, including digital transformation, technological innovation, resilient supply chains, green growth, capital flows, and human capital development. Discussions will also examine how Asian economies can strengthen cooperation, manage geopolitical and trade uncertainty, and contribute to a more stable, inclusive, and sustainable global economy.
