China UK Investor forum

4 December 2024, London

OMFIF is hosting its third China-UK investor forum, following the success of the events held in 2022 and 2023. This year’s forum, ‘Fostering partnerships for global growth and prosperity’ is poised to be a central platform for examining and developing areas of mutual economic benefit for China and the UK.

The event brings together perspectives from both the public and private sectors. It features representatives from sovereign funds, public pension funds, asset managers, wealth managers, technology developers, banks, insurance companies and private investors. With this diverse assembly, the forum aims to foster meaningful discussions to catalyse innovation, collaboration and investment.

Participants will include representatives not only from the UK and China but also from across Europe and Asia. This global presence underscores the forum’s commitment to fostering a comprehensive dialogue on economic co-operation and growth.

Join us at the China-UK investor forum as we explore the synergies between China and the UK, and work towards building a future of shared prosperity and innovation.
