The 3rd “BRIDGE for Cities” event, which revolves around urban-industrial development and takes green industry and
sustainable development as its central theme, aims to advance the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)
in tandem with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with which the BRI shares many similarities. The goal is
to establish a platform centered on demand-driven matchmaking through which government stakeholders,
development agencies and business-sector investors can share their demands and challenges, forge partnerships and
negotiate investment.
