Pearl River Delta boomtown, Dongguan, in South China's Guangdong province will host the biennial World Dongguan Entrepreneurs Convention from Sept 7 to 8.

This year's event will shine a spotlight on Dongguan's latest economic and social developments, in the hope of attracting entrepreneurs from at home and abroad to set up businesses in the city.

Mo Haotang, chairman of the World Dongguan Enterpreneurs Federation, said that he expected more than 1,300 guests would attend the two-day event, a quarter of which would likely be from abroad including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

Mo said that guests will be able to see the city's remarkable business environment as well as some of its key projects and urban planning.

Dongguan-made products and technologies such as robots, drones and 3-D printing technologies will also be showcased at the event.

A summit will also be held to discuss and explore ways in which Dongguan’s smart manufacturers can have a greater influence in the global marketplace, a major initiative for the city.

The convention is sponsored by the World Dongguan Entrepreneurs Federation, which was founded in 2012. The federation has overseas branches in Australia and Canada, as well as domestically in Kashgar, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
