Shanghai, China — Representatives from the Global Business District (GBD) Innovation Club convened by Suzhou Creek on October 24 to discuss new avenues for cooperation and innovation as part of Shanghai’s Our Water project. This five-year initiative, launched in 2023, aims to enhance urban cultural exchanges and foster international collaboration.
The meeting follows the project’s inaugural event held in Paris earlier this year, where Shanghai’s Jing’an district extended an invitation to GBD members to explore opportunities in Shanghai.
During the gathering, the delegation, which included representatives from Paris La Defense, Chicago Loop in the U.S., and Casablanca Financial City in Morocco, formalized their partnership by signing a strategic cooperation agreement with Jing’an district.
The Jing’an district is focused on developing the Suhewan zone along the banks of Suzhou Creek into a hub for global business practices, positioning itself as a key player in the international business landscape.
