6 Review of the previous Forums In the past four years, CEPAC with CCCC has successfully hosted four Sino-Canadian Oil and Gas Symposium and received great support from the Government of Alberta and Calgary Economic Development. Professionals, entrepreneurs and people from various industries have actively participated in the symposiums. With great local influence, the symposium has become a brand activity hosted by CPEAC with CCCC and a platform for discussion and information on Canada-China energy technologies. As the Canada-China trade relation further develops, this symposium will play an even more important role in the exchange and cooperation between two countries in the fields of traditional energy, new energy, environmental protection and information technology. Distinguished guests who attended the previous forums include former Alberta Premer: Jim Prentice, former Ministers of Energy of Alberta: Ken Hughes and Diana McQueen, former MLA Jason Luan, President of University of Calgary Elizabeth Cannon, Vice President of University of Calgary Ruwanpura Janaka, Chinese Consul-General in Calgary Yongfeng Liu and Xinping Wang, executives from the Chinese top three PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, and senior executive from major energy companies in Calgary. Ms.Diana McQuan: Former Alberta Energy Minister

7 Calgary is rated as the cleanest city in the world and ranks among the top five in Economist's list of the world's most livable cities; it also has the highest education attainment for of-age children and youth, the highest income per capita and the best welfare in Canada. Calgary is the economic, financial and cultural centre of Alberta. It is who largest energy centre and the second largest energy centre in North America. Worldfamous oil companies (likes, Shell, BP, ExxonMobil, PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC, etc.) all have branch offices here, and the headquarters of many Canadian energy companies likes Suncor are located here. Calgary is also an important financial centre in western Canada, as the world's top 10 investment banks all set up branches here. In recent years, the economic and trade exchanges between Calgary Appendix I: Introduction of Calgary Calgary is located in southern Alberta, Canada, near the worldfamous Rocky Mountains, where the eco-tourism resorts of Banff and Lake Louise. Calgary is Canada's fourth largest city with a population of 1.3 million and is a vibrant (with an average age of 36) international metropolis. The 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics was the first Winter Olympics hosted by Canada.

8 Beside CNOOC, CNPC and Sinopec these top three energy companies in China, other state-owned companies, private companies from China have also invested in Alberta's energy sector (oil sands, natural gas, petrochemicals, etc.). In recent years, Chinese companies in other industries such as tourism, finance, mining, information technology, agriculture, medicine, education, etc., have also begun to invest in Calgary, and use it as a platform to connect to North America. Calgary is one of Canada s major hubs for air, rail and highway transportations, with advanced development and logistics. Canada's second largest airline, WestJet Airlines, has its headquarter located in Calgary. Calgary International Airport is Canada's fourth largest, with direct routes to 140 cities around the world. In June 2016, Hainan airline opened a direct flight between Calgary and Beijing, which makes it even more convenient for Chinese businessmen and travelers to visit and conduct businesses in Calgary. After the Canadian Prime Minister and the Chinese government signed an agreement on the 2018 Canada-China Tourism Year, the number of tourists from China has increased significantly. While bringing business to the local service and hotel industries, it will also bring momentum and opportunities for the long-term healthy development of these industries. We believe that Calgary and China s exchanges and cooperation are highly complementary with broad prospects and significant development potential, which will bring tangible benefits to both parties.

10 Appendix II: Entrepreneurship and investment environment in Alberta With abundant human resources and comprehensive higher education facilities and the urban agglomeration effect is evident. The University of Calgary and the University of Alberta are amongst Canada's top comprehensive research universities with abundant academic resources in the fields of energy, life science, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence, have developed mature industrialization cases in specific areas ( For example, the deep mind team that developed AlphaGo was cultivated by the University of Alberta), and are capable of providing a continuous stream of research and development to drive innovation and entrepreneurship. Alberta's social welfare system is well-developed with low taxes, no sales tax, healthy real estate market, world-class basic education system, free basic medical system, high-level talent pool, rich natural resources, social stability and economic prosperity. In addition to the traditional energy and agriculture, tourism and high-tech industries have also continued to develop rapidly in recent years.

11 The Alberta government encourages innovation. The Alberta Entrepreneurship Incubator Project, initiated by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Alberta, provides funding to start-ups at the conceptual design stage to create an environment conducive to entrepreneur growth. With the support of the government, corporate venture capital is very active and international exchanges and cooperation are becoming more frequent. In June 2018, China s leading venture capital firm Tsinghua Enlighten settled in Canada s first incubator base in Alberta and will be committed to the two-way incubation of innovative projects in China and Canada. Located on the University of Calgary campus, the Calgary Innovation Centre is a well-known incubator in Canada, serving more than 600 start-ups in The incubator covers a wide range of industries including information technology, energy, services, manufacturing and materials, biotechnology, and clean technology. 68% of companies have released products or prototypes in the Innovation Centre, and 17% of the start-ups have entered international markets outside of Canada. In 2017, the Centre's start-ups raised more than 40 million Canadian dollars.
