On August 26th,HICOOL 2026The Global Entrepreneurs Summit officially began at the Beijing China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Hall). With the theme "From Innovation Origin to Industry Frontline," this summit extended its duration to four days. It brought together over 500 high-quality innovation projects from more than 50 countries and regions around the world, gathered more than 300 investment institutions, and attracted more than 50,000 innovation practitioners and entrepreneurs to attend, creating a global entrepreneurship carnival. As a highly influential innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem platform in China, HICOOL continues to establish a complete link between innovation origin, industrial implementation, and capital connection. Focusing on hard technology sectors such as artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, and future industries, it has become an important indicator for observing the development of cutting-edge innovation industries in China and globally.
Frost & Sullivan, also known as "Frost & Sullivan," was deeply involved in this HICOOL Summit. Leveraging 65 years of global industry research experience and combining in-depth insights into the domestic AI industry, together with the Artificial Intelligence Working Committee of the China Internet Association, they jointly released two major industry reports: 'Global and Chinese AI Data Service Market Development Blue Book (2026)' and '2026 Chinese Industrial Intelligent Agent Market Blue Book'. These two reports focus on two cutting-edge sectors: AI underlying data infrastructure and industrial autonomous intelligence. They provide authoritative data support and decision-making references for the industrial implementation of large models,AI Agentsphysical AI, and industrial intelligence. These became landmark achievements in the artificial intelligence section of this summit. They not only clarify the development path for the high-quality development of the domestic AI industry but also provide important industrial references for domestic AI companies to expand their business overseas.

'Global and Chinese AI Data Service Market Development Blue Book (2026)'
'2026 Chinese Industrial Intelligent Agent Market Blue Book'
As the domestic AI overseas expansion has moved beyond the stage of simple product output, entering a new cycle of technology stack delivery, ecosystem construction, and deep local operation; high-quality data supply, compliant systems in advance, and scenario-based solutions are the core competitiveness for Chinese AI companies to navigate the global market. The release ceremony of these blue books took place at the key forum of the summit—The Digital Intelligence Overseas Scenario, Value and Compliance Forum. Hosted by the Artificial Intelligence Working Committee of the China Internet Association, as a core activity of HICOOL 2026's artificial intelligence segment, this forum focused on the global development issues of Chinese AI companies. It brought together representatives from leading AI companies, professional law firms, industry research institutes, consulting agencies, etc. It included various sessions such as keynote speeches, authoritative report releases, industry roundtables, and lightning talks for companies. It conducted in-depth discussions on real overseas implementation scenarios of AI, commercial value extraction, cross-border data compliance management, and local operation challenges.
During the forum report release session, Xu Guangcan, Executive Director of Frost & Sullivan China, delivered a keynote speech titled 'Global AI Development and Prospects'. The speech systematically outlined the complete evolution of global AI models: The AI industry has moved from the early era of task-driven specialized models, through rapid iterations of large language models and multimodal models, and is currently accelerating towardsphysical AIworld models, and autonomous intelligence led by AI Agents. Computing power, algorithms, and data together form the three core pillars of the AI industry, and Agent + scenario are the core carriers for the implementation of AI value.
