The China Entrepreneurs Forum, also known as the Yabuli Forum, evolved from the remote snowy Heilongjiang in Northeast China, will be held in Tianjin on Aug 16-18.

Leading entrepreneurs will brainstorm their insights on internet, healthcare, education, property and charity sectors.

They will focus on self-innovation, 5G development, the reforms on the mixed ownership of companies and the integrated development among Tianjin, Beijing and Hebei province.

Jin Xiangjun, vice-mayor of Tianjin, expected the forum could help attract more investment projects to the coastal city.

During the first half, the city saw its GDP grow by 4.6 percent year-on-year.

Its economy has steadily grown for six quarters and has strong steam to continue the trend, he said.

Tian Yuan, chairman of the China Entrepreneurs Forum, said the forum is aiming at creating more opportunities for business leaders to invest in Tianjin, and support the city’s growth.
