Ni Hao!

Hello!

On behalf of the board of directors of Frost & Sullivan, my Partners, and our team here in China, I welcome you all to the 17th Frost & Sullivan Growth, Innovation and Leadership Summit and the 2nd New Investment Expo. Even more excitingly, we are hosting the 25th anniversary of Frost & Sullivan.

On behalf of the global board of directors of Frost & Sullivan, my partners, and our team in China, I warmly welcome everyone to attend the 2023 Second New Investment Expo and the 17th Frost & Sullivan Global Growth, Innovation and Leadership Summit. What is even more exciting is that this is also the 25th anniversary celebration of Frost & Sullivan Greater China.

I would like to extend a special welcome on behalf of my strong leader in Greater China, Dr. Neil Wang. He has been a steadfast regional leader and has inspired our entire team to what we are today.

At the same time, on behalf of our outstanding leader in Greater China, Dr. Wang Xin, I would like to welcome everyone. He has always been a steadfast regional leader and has inspired the entire team to achieve today's success.

To make today's session a small way for us to express our gratitude to all of you.

Holding today's meeting is a small way for us to express our gratitude to everyone.

So today, it's all about you. We wouldn't have been here but for you. Your support, your guidance over the past 25 years have made us who we are today.

Everything today is about you. Without you, we would not be standing here. It is your support and guidance over the past 25 years that have made us who we are today.

And since many of you are business leaders and investors, you know how difficult it is to survive and thrive in this global economy today.

Many of you are business leaders and investors, and you are very aware of how difficult it is to survive and develop in today's global economy.

I am extremely delighted that you all could join us. This is a celebration for both of us, just as it is a celebration for you. So we remain humble and grateful.

Therefore, I am extremely delighted that you can join us. This is a celebration of mutual success for both sides. We will remain humble and grateful.

As we look into the future, we will see there will be a lot of transformation.

As we look to the future, we can foresee many changes that will occur.

And one thing I can tell you from my experience, going through transformation, every transformation, there are incredible opportunities for all of us to take advantage of.

I have experienced change, and based on my experience, in every transformation, we all have extremely good opportunities that can be fully utilized.

So we see that pretty much every part of the industry, every geography, and every strategic imperative will be transformed.

Therefore, we see that almost every part of the industry, every region, and every strategic imperative will undergo transformation.

What that means is a transformation takes place, which will unlock growth opportunities for all of us.

The occurrence of change will bring growth opportunities to all.

We are now seeing that the way of working is changing. In the past, everyone in the office worked together.

We are witnessing a change in how work is done. In the past, work meant everyone sitting in an office.

Now everyone tends to work in a hybrid or remote setup.

Nowadays, people tend towards hybrid office models or remote work.

So work is changing the way we do our industries, and businesses are changing. So in other words, every industry is going to get transformed.

Therefore, the change in working methods is transforming how we develop industries, and our business is changing accordingly. In other words, every industry will undergo a transformation.

To a large extent, this transformation can be driven by technology.

This transformation is largely driven by technology.

We are already seeing the initial impact of artificial intelligence.

We have already seen the initial impacts of artificial intelligence.

AI will become part of everything we do now and in the future.

Artificial intelligence will be integrated into everything we do now and in the future.

And I think it's important that we all understand that embracing this technology is a good thing. We live together.

I think what's important is that we all understand that embracing this technology is a good thing. We coexist with AI.

As you have heard from our Chairman David Frigstad, let technology keep things done for us in the long run and lead to greater success.

As Mr. Fu Dawei, Chairman of Frost & Sullivan's Global Board of Directors, said, 'Let technology become a way to bring us long-term success in the future.'

What makes it even more exciting is the meteoric rise of China and its economy.

What is even more exciting is the rapid rise of China and its economy.

And if you look into the future, you can see the impact of the Chinese economy on the global economy.

If you look ahead, you can see the impact of the Chinese economy on the global economy.

We are seeing many companies coming up with incredible products and solutions that I think would address global challenges, whether it's sustainability, whether it's climate control, whether it is cybersecurity, any number of these things that we will all face in the future.

We see many companies launching quite stunning products and solutions that will address global challenges, whether it's sustainability, climate control, cybersecurity, or many other global common problems we will face in the future.

We are seeing many companies in China doing that.

We see this is the case with many Chinese companies.

And I think that means more opportunities for growth, more opportunities to improve people's lives around the globe.

I believe this means more growth opportunities, opportunities to make the lives of people around the world better.

So, in conclusion, I have one last moment to thank all of you for taking the time to come here. I ask that you join us in this event and please celebrate with us. Please meet with each other, and once again, we would like to thank you all. As I said earlier, we wouldn't be here without you.

Therefore, in summary, I would like to thank you all once again for taking the time out of your busy schedules to be here. I hope that you can join us in this event, celebrate together, and meet more often for exchanges. Thank you all once again. As I said before, without you, we would not have been able to achieve today's Frost & Sullivan.
