Feng Xingliang, Chief Representative of the North Rhine-Westphalia International Business Agency in China, spoke at the Sino-German event held on the same day. At the business matchmaking and exchange meeting, it was stated that the friendship between North Rhine-Westphalia and Shenyang, as an important practice and excellent example of Sino-German local cooperation, has spanned over four decades. North Rhine-Westphalia, located in western Germany, is the most populous and largest federal state in Germany. As the engine of Germany's economy, North Rhine-Westphalia is renowned for its automotive, chemical, high-end manufacturing, and "Industry 4.0" technologies, attracting numerous Fortune 500 companies. Shenyang, as the cradle of China's equipment manufacturing industry, boasts a complete range of industries, with outstanding advantages in aerospace, rail transportation, and new energy. The high degree of complementarity between the two regions' industries has fostered vigorous development of two-way investment.
Feng Xingliang suggested that both sides should focus on the green economy in the future. A Breakthrough Point for Future Industries. North Rhine-Westphalia leads in hydrogen energy storage and transportation, and carbon capture technology, while Tiexi District of Shenyang, the host city of the event, boasts advantages in wind power equipment and power battery industries. The industrial upgrading goals and economic development plans of both sides are deeply aligned.
Secondly, as the birthplace of German industry and home to a world-class pool of technical engineers, North Rhine-Westphalia can promote in-depth cooperation between North Rhine-Westphalia and Shenyang in industrial training and vocational education. "Germany's strong technological foundation combined with Shenyang's leading educational resources in Northeast China will jointly cultivate more highly skilled professionals and foster more competitive Sino-German manufacturing enterprises and industrial projects."

It is particularly worth mentioning that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Sino-German Industrial Park. At the exchange meeting held that day, the investment intentions of German SMEs in China were released. When discussing the unique advantages of the Sino-German Industrial Park in attracting German SMEs for cooperation, Michel Weber, head of the German accounting firm Weber, believed that the park accurately grasps the convergence points of Sino-German industrial cooperation, focusing on high-end manufacturing, new energy, and other fields that highly match the core businesses of German SMEs. This consistency in industrial positioning allows German companies to quickly find entry points for cooperation. Secondly, the park has built a comprehensive international service system, from company registration and policy coordination to underlying support, greatly reducing the cost of establishment for German SMEs. More importantly, the Sino-German Industrial Park has accumulated rich experience in cooperation with Germany and a resource network, providing German SMEs with full-chain support from information matching and project incubation to market expansion. This "one-stop" service capability is precisely what SMEs value most in the process of internationalization.
