China has launched a nationwide campaign aimed at strengthening cooperation and partnerships among businesses of all sizes, according to an official notice issued on Wednesday.

Named the “100 events for 10,000 enterprises” programme for 2026, the initiative seeks to create more opportunities for interaction and collaboration between large companies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The campaign will bring together support from intellectual property service providers, universities, research institutions and financial organizations to build a broad platform. This platform will allow businesses to exchange ideas, showcase their strengths, access services and form partnerships.

The goal is to help more SMEs become part of the innovation, industrial and supply chains of larger companies, while building a more connected, efficient and collaborative business environment.

A series of themed events will be organized under the programme, including matchmaking sessions focused on key sectors such as robotics, servers and artificial intelligence.

The initiative is jointly organized by several government bodies, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the National Intellectual Property Administration and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce.

Authorities have also been instructed to improve coordination among departments and gather the needs of large enterprises in advance to ensure more effective and targeted business matchmaking.
