The Sino-International Entrepreneurs Federation (SIEF) is a global non-profit, non-partisan organisation. It is incorporated in Zürich and headquartered in Beijing at the Prince Shuncheng Palace. Functioning as a trusted and neutral facilitator, SIEF connects business leaders – across industries, continents and cultures. To achieve this, SIEF continually creates meaningful engagements, such as the Sino-European Entrepreneurs Summit, the Sino-Australasian Entrepreneurs Summit, the China-Africa Investment Forum, the Sino-International Entrepreneurs Summit, as well as a broad range of ongoing programmes around the world. SIEF was established in 2008 by Mr Long Yongtu, Former Vice-Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Cooperation and Trade, the People's Republic of China.
