“This year marks the fifth anniversary of the CIIE. In the past five years, despite the challenging external environment, the CIIE has never missed an appointment, which shows us China’s firm commitment to opening up.” Xie Weibo, President of Danone China, North Asia and Oceania He said, “We believe that at the critical beginning of the new era and new journey, the CIIE, as an important link to promote the development of internal and external dual cycles, has a more prominent significance and role.”

Over the past five years, Danone has introduced more than 70 new products to the Chinese market. Taking advantage of the spillover effect of the CIIE, Danone has accelerated the pace of investment in “Created in China” and “Made in China” in an all-round way – setting up a new open scientific research center in the Chinese market and investing in two specialized special nutrition factories.
