Agreements signed to strengthen ties in cultural tourism, AI, and creative industries

The dynamic Luohu District of Shenzhen, bordering Hong Kong, has entered into agreements with leading institutions in Frankfurt to enhance cultural and tourism exchanges between the two regions.

One of the agreements was signed between the Luohu District Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports and the Sino-German Association for Technology and Science, during the China (Shenzhen Luohu) – Germany (Frankfurt) Cultural and Tourism Cooperation Exchange Symposium, held in Frankfurt on Tuesday.

Focus on Cultural Tourism and Innovation

Both sides committed to leveraging their respective strengths to advance cooperation in cultural tourism, artificial intelligence, and digital creativity. The partnership aims to promote joint projects, establish long-term mechanisms for collaboration, and foster sustainable growth and innovation.

The symposium brought together more than 50 German companies and institutions from sectors including cultural tourism, life sciences, media, and AI.

Strengthening China–Germany Relations

In a keynote speech, a representative of the Chinese Consulate General in Frankfurt highlighted the importance of the symposium in strengthening industrial and economic ties between China and Germany. The initiative seeks not only to deepen business relations but also to improve mutual understanding between the two nations.

Representatives from the Luohu trade delegation presented the region’s advantages and development potential, emphasizing commitment to expanding cooperation in performing arts, creative fashion, cross-border tourism, green development, and life sciences.

German institutions such as the European Molecular Biology Organization and the Hessian State Ballet shared insights on industry trends and expressed interest in future collaboration with Luohu.

Business Engagement and Exchange

Alongside the symposium, the Luohu delegation visited several German companies and institutions, including Meissner Digital Interior Design, Baum & Garten Advertising, Schmidt Advertising, and the European Molecular Biology Organization. The visits were intended to encourage German firms to invest in Shenzhen and expand into the Chinese market, while also supporting Shenzhen brands in their global outreach.

The symposium served as a platform for exchange between Luohu and Frankfurt, with both parties pledging to explore new models of cooperation under the newly signed agreements. The collaboration is expected to foster mutual business growth and cultural exchange.
