Recently, as the first global promotion event of the construction of the Integrated National Demonstration Zone for Opening up the Services Sector and the China (Beijing) Pilot Free Trade Zone (the "Two Zones") in the second half of this year, Beijing-Austria Green Economy (New Energy Vehicle) Industrial Cooperation Matchmaking Conference (the Conference) was held. Relevant political and business figures from Beijing and Austria, and heads from nearly 50 high-end service enterprises covering electric vehicles, technological innovation, AI, business services and other fields attended the Conference. Focusing on the key areas of the opening up of the "Two Zones", both sides participated in in-depth exchanges and discussions and shared opinions on the prospects for cooperation in the development of green energy and the intelligent electric vehicle industry.
