The “FCPAE European Forum” is an annual event hosted by the Federation of Chinese Professional Associations in Europe (FCPAE), and it has successfully organized thirteen sessions to date. Among them, the 3^rd and 7^th editions of the “FCPAE European Forum” were both hosted by the Association of Chinese Professionals in Belgium (ACPB).

As the rotating chair association of the Federation of Chinese Professional Associations in Europe (FCPAE) for the year 2023, the Association of Chinese Professionals in Belgium (ACPB) is delighted to co-host the 14^th FCPAE European Forum in collaboration with the China-Belgium Technology Center (CBTC). Building upon the successful joint organization of four China-Belgium Science and Technology Exchange Symposiums by ACPB and CBTC from 2019 to 2022, both organizations have decided to hold the 5^th China-Belgium Science and Technology Exchange Symposium alongside this year’s “FCPAE European Forum.” We cordially welcome you to join us at the 14^th FCPAE European Forum and the 5th China-Belgium Science and Technology Exchange Symposium, scheduled to take place on October 20-21, 2023, in Brussels and Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.

The 14th FCPAE European Forum theme is “Advance China-EU Collaboration for Tomorrow” This forum will gather the experts of Chinese companies in Europe and European companies in China, with growth and development as the driving force. It will bring together scientific researchers and entrepreneurs from both sides and focus on five sub-forums: Green development, Innovation entrepreneurship, Frontiers of life sciences, Future intelligent technology, and Smart logistics. During the conference, there will also be project presentations, an awards ceremony for the top ten outstanding European Chinese Leaders in Business, Science, and Technology, local innovation and talent policy presentations, as well as several signing ceremonies. The goal is to create a high-quality platform for cooperation and exchange between Chinese, Belgian and European technology experts and entrepreneurs, and to strive for a win-win situation for all.

We have reasons to believe that, with the joint efforts of the organizers, co-organizers, and sponsors, the 14^th FCPAE European Forum and the 5th China-Belgium Science and Technology Exchange Symposium will be a resounding success and will leave everyone with unforgettable memories.
