Building on the cases our production and research teams studied, we announced the establishment of the Sustainable Enterprises for Earth and Development Institute (SEED) of Phoenix Satellite TV in April 2019.

The SEED Institute brings together various institutions and organizations at home and abroad dedicated to sustainable development, and aims to widely share the rigorous research and in-depth analyses of sustainable development. 

With these efforts, we are committed to further promoting and accelerating the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals through events, reports and media products. We also work with governments, social organizations and other stakeholders to provide integrated solutions to enterprises.

The Guide

The SEED Institute collaborates with partners to launch “A Service Guide to Chinese Investment and Cooperation Activities in Foreign Countries (2020)” (The Guide) video series, which features themes covering risks, regulations, culture and others in different industries, regions and markets. The Guide will be broadcasted during Odyssey of the Dragon’s weekly program. Based on The Guide, we also provide customized advisory services on international development, investment and corporate social responsibility strategies along the Belt and Road for enterprises and organizations.

“Going Global” and
“Belt & Road”

The documentary series was launched in 2016 in the context of China’s “Going Global” and “Belt & Road” Initiative. In the past 4 years, Odyssey of the Dragon has presented over 400 cases in over 80 countries. We both documented stories of Chinese enterprises and individuals venturing overseas in quest of market and development opportunities, and illustrate the motivation and models driving China’s globalization process since its open-up.

Building on these first-hand information and cases, we hope to discuss how the remarkable economic and social transformations will bring new development opportunities to China and the world.
