APEC CEO Summit expects representatives from 115 Fortune Global 500 firms

Representatives of 115 Fortune Global 500 companies are expected to attend the 2026 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade said on 15 November. Vice chairperson Li Qingshuang outlined the expected business participation at a press conference during APEC Economic Leaders' Week in Shenzhen.

Li said US companies would form the largest participating group from economies other than China. Heads of several international organisations and business-association leaders from the United States, Russia, Japan and other economies are also expected to attend.

The figure counts companies sending representatives, not necessarily 115 chief executives attending in person. The announcement sets out expected attendance; it does not establish that particular deals have been signed or that all planned participants have already arrived.
