Brand Activities: Fuoziling Forum

So far, the Anhui Provincial Development Strategy Research Association has successfully held four sessions of the Fuoziling Forum. The themes of each session are as follows:

- 2019: 70 Years of Anhui Development and Future Prospects

- 2020: New Starting Point • New Momentum • New Leap

- 2021: New Stage • New Concepts • New Patterns

- 2022: Development Strategies for Anhui after the 20th CPC National Congress

The forum focuses on major issues and strategic deployments for the future development of Anhui. It invites experts from various fields, including provincial universities, research institutions, and municipal party schools (administrative academies), to submit papers and discuss Anhui's economic and social development.

Objectives of the Foziling Forum:

1. Creating a New Research Platform: The forum establishes a new type of academic think tank research platform, integrating and consolidating experts and scholars from various economic think tanks within the province. This facilitates interdisciplinary and cross-field research, providing a comprehensive and systematic observation and analysis of Anhui's economic development issues, strategic ideas, and countermeasures.

2. Enhancing Think Tank Functions: By converting research results into think tank outcomes, the forum breaks the traditional self-entertainment academic model and directly provides effective intellectual services to the provincial government.

3. Building an Academic Community: The forum gathers the collective wisdom of numerous experts and scholars, creating a collaborative effort to shape Anhui's economic research as a regional brand.
