Recently, a business exchange conference on the “going global” initiatives of Guangxi’s survey and design enterprises was successfully held in Nanning. Guided by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and organized by the Guangxi Survey and Design Association, the conference aimed to thoroughly implement the national strategy of opening up, establish a platform for industry collaboration and exchange, and promote the high-quality, outward-oriented development of the region’s survey and design sector. China Light Industry Nanning Design & Engineering Co., Ltd. was invited to attend as a representative of the industry’s internationalization efforts and shared its experiences at the event.

During the discussion and sharing session, China Light Industry Nanning drew upon the company’s extensive practical experience gained from years of operating in overseas markets to deliver an in-depth presentation on four key topics: market development strategies, overseas business expansion, cross-border risk management, and project implementation. By reviewing practical experiences through specific project case studies, the company put forward a series of replicable and scalable recommendations, providing industry enterprises with highly valuable practical guidance for expanding their international operations.

As a “pioneer in going global” within China’s light industry design sector, CNDC has continuously expanded its overseas business footprint in recent years. Its projects now span numerous countries and regions across Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. The company has accumulated extensive experience in the execution and management of international projects, established a mature overseas business operations system, and delivered a number of landmark projects with international influence, earning high recognition from clients.

 CNDC ’s Technical Services Span the Globe

With the ongoing advancement of the national “Belt and Road” initiative and the deepening of Guangxi’s openness and cooperation with ASEAN, the internationalisation of the survey and design industry is entering a new era of historic opportunity. CNDC will continue to fulfil its role as an industry leader among central state-owned enterprises, joining hands with peers within the region to share overseas experience and jointly expand international markets. In doing so, it will help enhance the international competitiveness and influence of Guangxi’s survey and design industry, and together we will write a new chapter in international development.
