Heilongjiang is China's northernmost province, with remote mountain ranges and a flat interior plain. It's named for the Heilong (Black Dragon) river (Amur River), bordering Russia. The capital and the largest city of the province is Harbin. Among Chinese provincial-level administrative divisions, Heilongjiang is the sixth-largest by total area, the 15th-most populous province of China. The province has significant agricultural production and raw materials, such as timber, oil and coal.

We have the honor to welcome the Heilongjiang Provincial Government along with many Chinese companies from that province to Switzerland at the end of September. On this occasion, the Heilongjiang provincial government is organizing the "Heilongjiang - Switzerland Economic and Trade Cooperation Conference" in cooperation with the Chinese Consulate General in Zurich, the Swiss-Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Swiss-Chinese Association.

This conference will bring together government representatives, business leaders and experts from various industry sectors such as agriculture and food, ice and snow economy, biomedicine, and high-end manufacturing. Government representatives will present the latest developments and opportunities in Heilongjiang Province. It further offers the chance of speed networking with relevant companies during the matchmaking session. Read below the complete program and secure your spot at the conference.
