This year's event is more targeted, primarily aimed at inviting guests from Taiwan. It also aims to be more effective, with the signing of important Taiwan-funded projects during the opening ceremony, showcasing the fruitful results of this year's cross-strait economic and trade cooperation. 

There are currently ten planned signing projects involving nine districts and open platforms, with a total investment of RMB 11.635 billion (USD 1.58 billion).

It will feature keynote speeches by renowned experts from both sides of the Taiwan Strait, contributing to the significant presence of Taiwan-funded enterprises in the region.

Chongqing-Taiwan Week is designed to be more inclusive, emphasizing the proactive involvement of districts and counties, with various sub-events being organized at the local level.
