南方财经全媒体见习记者梁旭琦 广州报道

Editor’s Note: The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is one of the most dynamics area in China. Its total economic output has grown from 10.8 trillion yuan ($1.51 trillion) in 2018 to over 14 trillion yuan last year, achieving one-ninth of China's total with less than 0.6 percent of the country's national territorial area. It is also at the forefront of China's reform and opening-up and technological innovation. Many multinationals are investing in this region and playing a key role in development. To explore their journey in the GBA, we are launching the special coverage "Multinationals on GBA".

On November 8th, the 2024 Global Investment Promotion Conference for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area opened in Guangzhou, highlighting the region's appeal for foreign investments.

Dario Silva, President of PorCham Greater China, reflected on his 18 years in the GBA with admiration, stating, "It is simply astonishing." He emphasized the ease with which foreign companies can now establish themselves and access financial tools in the GBA, a stark contrast to the past. Silva also pointed out the rapid integration of AI into manufacturing processes and the region's significant contribution to China's GDP.
