The 2025 5th International Conference on Enterprise Management and Economic Development (ICEMED 2025) was held from May 30 to June 1, 2025, in Dali, China. Against the backdrop of accelerating technological disruption, shifting global economic dynamics, and increasing policy complexity, this year’s conference served as a timely forum for scholars and practitioners to explore the evolving contours of enterprise development and economic strategy from both theoretical and applied perspectives.

The keynote presentations at ICEMED 2025 offered critical insights into the evolving interplay of technology, policy, and economics. Prof. Xianhua Wu (Shanghai Maritime University) examined the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism through a GTAP model, highlighting its impact on trade and industrial strategies. Prof. Xiongfeng Pan (Dalian University of Technology) analyzed how demographic shifts—particularly aging and low fertility—affect carbon efficiency, informing sustainability discourse. Prof. Hua Wang (Zhejiang University) compared market forecasting by large language models and human experts, advancing sentiment analysis methods. Prof. Jinhong Mi (Shanghai Maritime University) addressed the economic implications of foundation AI models, with a focus on labor, growth, and policy. Collectively, these talks enriched the conference with both theoretical depth and practical relevance.

The proceedings encompass a wide range of peer-reviewed contributions across key themes including enterprise strategy, organizational behavior, industrial economics, financial management, and the integration of digital technologies in economic systems. Authors engaged with topics such as big data-driven decision-making, international trade dynamics, innovation management, and econometric modeling, reflecting the conference’s commitment to advancing knowledge through empirical and analytical rigor.

ICEMED 2025 would not have been possible without the collective efforts of its scientific committee, peer reviewers, and conference organizers, whose commitment to academic integrity and scholarly dialogue ensured the high quality of the event. We also extend our appreciation to all authors whose research has enriched this volume.

It is our hope that the findings presented here will stimulate further inquiry and contribute meaningfully to the fields of enterprise management and economic development in both academic and applied domains.
