Due to time constraints, I would like to briefly report on several important agendas of this conference, which cannot be covered in detail.
Given the time constraints, I would like to briefly highlight some key items on the conference agenda. Although I will not be able to cover every item, I will touch on the core issues.
New productive forces
"New Quality Productive Forces"
First, go throughOver the past more than 40 years of reform and opening up, China's GDP has grown by more than 300 times. This is a great feat in the history of human development and will be forever inscribed in history!
Firstly, over the past 40-plus years of reform and opening up, China's GDP has grown nearly 300 times, a monumental feat in the annals of human development and undoubtedly etched in the pages of history forever!
Under the new development conditions, we face more complex forms and some challenges in development. To address these challenges, the Party and the state have proposed to actively cultivate and develop new types of productive forces.
Under the new development conditions, we are confronted with increasingly complex circumstances and various developmental challenges. In response to these challenges, the Communist Party of China and the State have put forward the initiative to actively foster and develop new quality productive forces.
Frost & Sullivan, responding to the call of the nation, jointly with LeadLeo, published 'China's FutureThe white paper "50-Year Industry Development Trends" aims to stimulate further discussion and collaboration. We hope to spark new ideas in several core areas such as artificial intelligence, intelligent manufacturing, mass consumption, life sciences, and carbon neutrality. Together, we can discover new growth points and development opportunities, and jointly build new types of productive forces.
In response to the national call, Frost & Sullivan, in conjunction with LeadLeo, has published the "White Paper on China's Industrial Development Trends for the Next 50 Years." We hope this initiative will spark further dialogue and innovation. Our focus is on key sectors such as AI, intelligent manufacturing, mass consumption, life sciences, and carbon neutrality. In these areas, we aim to collaboratively uncover new growth opportunities and development prospects, working together to foster new quality productive forces.
Going global
"Going Global"
Secondly, there is a very hot topic that we are all talking about now: going global.
We are particularly fortunate to have the strong support of the China Listed Companies Association and Vice President Sun Nianrui. Frost & Sullivan has helped tens of thousands of Chinese enterprises enter the international capital market, becoming an important bridge for companies going global. Recently, however, due to time constraints, Mr. David, the Global Chairman of Frost & Sullivan, recorded a brief video. In fact, we had planned for his arrival, but he has published a new book called The Growth Coaching Book It is the 'Enterprise Growth Guide'. In this book, a systematic discussion and sharing are provided on how enterprises can successfully go global. I also hope that all of you present here will review and offer your comments.
Our second key topic is one that's generating significant buzz: global expansion.
Thanks to the strong support from the China Association for Public Companies and Vice Chairman Sun Nianrui,
Frost & Sullivan has helped tens of thousands of Chinese enterprises enter international capital markets, serving as the best "bridge" for enterprises going global. Recently, David Frigstad, Global Chairman of Frost & Sullivan, had planned to join us but due to scheduling conflicts, has prepared a brief video message instead. He recently published "The Growth Coaching Book", which offers a comprehensive guide on successful global expansion strategies for businesses. We invite all attendees to review this work and share your valuable insights.
brand
"Branding"
Another very important issue is that, as is well known, China has numerous time-honored brands, and in recent years, a large number of new brands with global influence have also emerged. Brand building in China is a major national strategy.
At this conference, we are honored to have invited top experts such as President Zhang Guohua of the China Advertising Association and Mr. Wu Gang, the chief producer of "Great Power Brands," to share their valuable experiences and work with us to build great power brands.
Another crucial topic on our agenda concerns China's brand landscape. As we know, China has many time-honored brands and has also seen the emergence of a large number of new influential brands globally in recent years. The development of Chinese brands is, in fact, a key national strategy.
At this conference, we are honored to have invited top experts such as
Zhang Guohua, Chairman of the China Advertising Association, and Wu Gang, Executive Producer of THE GROWING OF THE GREAT BRAND, will share their experiences and work together with fellow industry professionals to create great national brands.
Gratitude, cooperation, and win-win
"Gratitude, Cooperation, Win-win"
