The China Development Institute (CDI) was jointly founded in 1989 by 116 government
officials, economists and entrepreneurs. CDI is an independent think tank based in Shenzhen
that develops policy solutions through research and debates to help advance China’s reform
and opening-up.
CDI’s research on issues that impact China’s economic and social development provides
policy recommendations for decision-makers that include both the public and private sectors.
The research focuses on open economy and innovation-driven development, regional
economy and regional development, industrial policies and industrial development, urbanization
and urban development, and business strategies and investment decision-making. Much of the
research is commissioned by Chinese governments at all governance levels and businesses
from home and abroad.

CDI’s debates engage academia, governments, businesses and civil society around the globe
to discuss China’s economic and social developments. The events in different formats –
conferences, seminars, and roundtables – are organized both in China and internationally
with partners.
