The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) is one of the most dynamic economic regions in the world. This area, approximately 26 times the size of Flanders and with more than 34 times its population, serves as the engine of the Chinese economy. With 227 million inhabitants and contributing 25% of China’s GDP, the YRD surpasses the economies of some G7 countries. In addition to its economic strength, the YRD is also a center of innovation, accounting for one-third of China’s total R&D investments. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain insights into one of the world’s most important economic hubs!
