The China International Forum on Development of High-Tech Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Development - sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology and Tsinghua University - will be held from December 6 to 8 in Beijing.

In a bid to create a good environment for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the event will serve as a bridge to link government organizations, companies, investment units and SMEs. It will also spark further discussions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Promotion of SMEs, which will come into force on January 1.
