This year's Annual Meeting of the New Champions of the World Economic Forum in Tianjin — which was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic — will unfold next summer in the city, the head of the World Economic Forum in China said.
The WEF is working with the National Development and Reform Commission to set a date for next year for what is widely known as Summer Davos, according to David Aikman, who is also the organization's managing director.
Aikman also noted that the WEF will stage the Winter Davos in Singapore in May. That event is normally held early each year in Switzerland.
The WEF is teaming up with the NDRC and foreign companies to hold a research meeting in Tianjin , after a visit to Dalian earlier this week. Dalian has hosted Summer Davos in a biennial rotation with Tianjin since 2007.
Li Bin, an official of the NDRC's international collaboration department said the commission has with the WEF since October to help foreign companies conduct study tours in China's top foreign investment destinations.
