Unlocking Growth Opportunities in China through Hainan Free Trade Port

Event Details

In an increasingly uncertain global landscape, companies are re-evaluating supply chains, growth markets, and strategic footholds. As economies like China seek greater business engagements with the region, Singapore's aviation sector is uniquely positioned to explore emerging opportunities.

In this context, President Xi Jinping reaffirmed the strategic role of the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) as the country's gateway for international cooperation in its next phase of development: "努力把海南自由贸易港打造成为引领我国新时代对外开放的重要门户，奋力谱写中国式现代化海南篇章" (We will strive to build Hainan Free Trade Port into an important gateway for China's new era of opening-up, and strive to write a chapter of Chinese-style modernisation in Hainan)

AAIS and CapitaLand Investment are pleased to host an exclusive, closed-door roundtable for Singapore's aviation and aerospace industry stakeholders. Designed for companies with strategic interests or exploring emerging opportunities in China, the session offers a unique platform to:
