The conference brought together scholars, researchers, and practitioners from universities, research institutes, and industry worldwide, fostering an open platform for academic exchange and interdisciplinary dialogue in the fields of economic development, business culture, and related social sciences. The active participation of attendees reflected the growing global interest in sustainable economic growth, cultural dynamics in business environments, and the evolving challenges of globalization and digital transformation. ICEDBC 2025 featured three keynote speeches delivered by distinguished experts. Assoc. Prof. Amar Razzaq (Huanggang Normal University, China) shared insights into rural digital entrepreneurship and inclusive development, drawing on his research in agricultural economics and cross-border e-commerce. His presentation explored how grassroots digital ecosystems—such as Taobao Villages—can serve as engines of rural transformation, employment generation, and poverty alleviation. Assoc. Prof. Kaliyan Mathyiazhagan (Thiagarajar School of Management, India) discussed the strategic role of business culture in driving sustainable economic development. His talk emphasized how organizational values, stakeholder engagement, and cultural alignment can foster innovation, attract investment, and promote long-term social responsibility. Asst. Prof. Cui Wei (Dalian Maritime University, China) examined the governance value of data assets across their lifecycle. Her presentation addressed the challenges of data ownership, business model design, and system reconstruction, highlighting the role of data-driven governance in shaping future business systems and institutional efficiency. These keynote presentations offered valuable theoretical perspectives and practical implications for scholars and practitioners alike. Following the keynote session, the conference hosted a series of oral presentations covering a wide range of topics, including economic modeling, business management, financial systems, organizational culture, and interdisciplinary studies. A total of 123 manuscripts were submitted to ICEDBC 2025, of which 55 were accepted after rigorous peer review. The papers included in this proceedings volume represent diverse and innovative research outcomes, reflecting current trends and emerging issues in economic development, business culture, and related fields. These contributions provide valuable references for scholars, policymakers, and industry professionals seeking to understand and address the complex challenges of modern economic systems. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all authors for their contributions, to the reviewers for their professional and meticulous evaluations, and to the keynote speakers for sharing their expertise. We also extend our gratitude to the organizing committee and supporting staff for their dedication and hard work, which ensured the smooth and successful operation of ICEDBC 2025. We believe that the research presented in this proceedings will serve as a meaningful reference for future studies and will continue to inspire academic exploration and practical innovation in the fields of economic development and business culture. We look forward to meeting the global research community again at future editions of ICEDBC. ICEDBC 2025 Conference Committee
