China’s emphasis on green and sustainable development offers a fertile ground for businesses in sustainable urban development. Integral to this are initiatives such as China’s Five-Year Plan, the Urban Renewal Action Plan (2023-2025), and local programs for green development and urban planning. These initiatives set forth ambitious goals for achieving ultra-low energy consumption in construction and have laid the groundwork for the adoption of green transportation projects. European SMEs, with their established practices in eco-friendly construction and sustainable transportation, are well-positioned to make a significant impact in China’s growing green and sustainable urban development sector and to export their expertise and sustainable solutions.

Against the backdrop of significant geopolitical shifts, the evolving dynamics between China, the European Union, and the United States — the world's leading economic powers — are central to understanding the future direction of international business and commerce.
