On August 23, 2019, the 14th Taiwan Entrepreneurs Forum opened in Huai'an. The theme of this forum was still "Sharing Wisdom from Both Sides of the Straits for Common Development, and Cooperating for a Better Future", which emphasizes the goal of "Moving Forward with One Heart and One Mind, Promoting Integration and Mutual Development". More than 500 well-known scholars, business tycoons and leaders from both sides attended the forum to explore new opportunities, ideas and paths for cross-strait integration and development.

Huai'an government for years has strived to serve Taiwanese businessmen better by giving full play to the advantages of Huai'an as the demonstration zone for the transfer, clustering, and service of Taiwanese-funded enterprise, and abiding by the principle of "101% service". The ultimate aim is to construct Huai'an as the second center for Taiwanese business in north Jiangsu with Kunshan as the first one in the south. At present, a large number of well-known Taiwanese enterprises have been established in Huai'an. The Forum as an important platform for cooperation between the two sides has become an important brand of cross-strait exchanges and cooperation since 2006.
