The 2026 Dalian Summer Davos Forum has officially kicked off. This forum brought together more than 1,700 important guests from more than 90 countries and regions around the world, setting a new record in scale for all previous Summer Davos Forums.
This international event, which attracted the attention of global business and political circles, not only provided Liaoning with a face-to-face display and exchange platform for global high-end resources, but also allowed the outside world to clearly see the new growth pole of Liaoning’s export-oriented economic development – the rapidly rising cross-border e-commerce industry.
Official statistics show that in the first quarter of 2026, Liaoning’s cross-border e-commerce import and export volume increased significantly by 46.6% year-on-year, far exceeding the national average growth
Speed, behind this outstanding achievement is the development trend that has blossomed in many places across the province: Benxi, Jinzhou, Tieling, Chaoyang and other six cities have recently completed their first cross-border e-commerce orders, achieving a milestone breakthrough in the local cross-border e-commerce business from scratch; Dan
Eight prefecture-level cities including Dongfang, Panjin, Liaoyang and Huludao have successfully expanded cross-border e-commerce categories, putting more agricultural products and industrial products with Liaoning’s regional characteristics into the shopping carts of global consumers; the three foreign trade core cities of Shenyang, Dalian and Yingkou
The central hub city has achieved full coverage of 4 mainstream cross-border e-commerce business models, and the remaining 11 cities and Shenfu Demonstration Zone have also covered 2 to 3 business models. The popularity and carrying capacity of cross-border e-commerce business in the province have reached a new level.
This rapid growth is by no means accidental, it is the inevitable result of Liaoning’s continued increase in support for the cross-border e-commerce industry.
Since 2026, Liaoning’s cross-border e-commerce industry ecology has continued to improve. There have been nearly 900 new cross-border e-commerce related business entities in the province. A total of more than 40 innovation breakthroughs from 0 to 1 have been achieved, such as the first launch of an order, the first tax refund, and data “breaking zero”. The endogenous power of industrial development continues to be released.
In order to further consolidate the foundation for industrial development, Liaoning has recently officially issued the “Liaoning Province Action Plan to Promote the Accelerated Development of Cross-border E-commerce (2026-2028)”, simultaneously launching 9 special policies and measures, covering the entire chain of market player cultivation, customs clearance and tax refund facilitation, financial service support, talent training and introduction, etc., providing real policy dividends for the development of the cross-border e-commerce industry.
Currently, Liaoning is focusing on the layout of local equipment manufacturing, agricultural products, light industrial products and other advantageous industries, focusing on cultivating 10 characteristic export industry belts, 20 key cross-border e-commerce industrial parks, 50 cross-border e-commerce model enterprises, and 20 internationally competitive export independent brands, promoting the cross-border e-commerce industry to break through from the single-point model and scale in the past to the advantages of industrial clusters with full-link collaboration and full ecological development, creating a new engine for foreign trade growth.
From the face-to-face negotiations with global merchants at the Davos Forum to the steady flow of global orders on the cross-border e-commerce platform, the open Liaoning is deeply embedded in the global trade network through multiple channels, and its connection with the world market is getting closer and closer. The new picture of the export-oriented economy is accelerating.
