Room to cooperate on business
Print Edition
CHINA and France have huge opportunities to cooperate on business and investment by tapping Chinese consumption upgrade and the Belt and Road Initiative, investors said yesterday.
Bpifrance, the state-owned French investment bank, is keen to explore investment prospects in artificial intelligence, robotics and clean tech industries. It’s also optimistic about opportunities for “booming new middle-class” consumers in China and seeks more cooperation on BRI, Simon Robert, Bpifrance’s manager, said yesterday in Shanghai.
In January, Bpifrance, Cathay Capital and the China Development Bank announced to launch a new fund of 1.2 billion euros (US$1.4 billion) that will invest mainly in medium-size businesses in France and China.
Shanghai-based Shopal Inc, which secured US$15 million investment from Cathay Capital, aims to offer Chinese consumers maternal and child products, cosmetics and health care. Through its online platform and business cooperation with mid-cap French and overseas brands, Shopal will meet the demand for better life and health among Chinese consumers, said Guo Lu, founder of Shopal.
Shopal also said it will work with Bpifrance to import more French brands into the domestic market.
French startup Ledger, another Cathay-invested company, displayed its latest portable Bitcoin wallet at CES Asia, Asia’s biggest consumer electronics show, in Shanghai.
