Mr. Teng Hexian delivered a speech entitled "clear development strategy and exemplary pragmatic business" at the forum. Mr. Teng said in his speech: “we should take this event as an opportunity to create more conditions to strengthen the exchange between SME on both sides of the Taiwan Straits and pave the way for future cross-strait business cooperation so that they could take advantage of each other's strengths and join together from the capital, personnel, project and other aspects and create a new platform of mutual benefit and common development for SME on both sides of the Taiwan Straits through continuous exchanges and cooperation."

At the face-to-face meeting among entrepreneurs, Mr. Teng also said that cross-strait SME had complementary advantages and great potential for cooperation; the mainland had increasing market and capital reserves and abundant human resources, while Taiwan enterprises had strong innovation ability and rich experience in management and international market development. Cross-strait SME should grasp the opportunity for ECFA (Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement) to strengthen cooperation.

During the two-day meeting, the representatives of cross-strait SME also had business talks about finance, green energy, machinery and logistics.
