The 2024 Sino-International Entrepreneurs Auto Valley Forum was held in the Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone in late April.

The forum, organized by the Sino-International Entrepreneurs Federation (SIEF), was dedicated to fostering international cooperation and pioneering advancements within the automotive industry.

It aimed to promote extensive collaboration between China and France across domains such as automotive technology innovation, intelligent driving systems and the integration of new energy vehicles (NEVs), thereby bolstering the high-quality development of the global automotive industry.

The event brought together Long Yongtu, chairman of SIEF; Jean-Yves ROUX, French consul general in Wuhan; and Luc Chatel, chairman of La Plateforme Automobile (PFA), alongside a cohort comprising nearly 100 delegates from French automotive industry regulatory bodies, major European automotive agencies, and senior executives from Fortune Global 500 automotive finance and insurance companies.

Luc Chatel said that China has now become the world's largest exporter of automobiles, with vast prospects for NEV development.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, as well as the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism.
