2026年8月4日，2026沙利文峰会在上海静安香格里拉大酒店盛大开幕。
On August 4, the 20th Frost & Sullivan Global Growth, Innovation and Leadership Summit and the 5th New Investment Event (the "2026 Frost & Sullivan GIL Summit") officially opened at Jing An Shangri-La, Shanghai.
适逢大会举办之际，沙利文全球成立65周年暨沙利文峰会落地中国20周年庆典晚宴隆重举行。
In conjunction with the Summit, the Celebratory Banquet for the 65th Anniversary of Frost & Sullivan Global and the 20th Anniversary of the GIL Summit in China was held.
在庆典上，沙利文全球总裁兼主管合伙人、全球董事局执行董事祖亚儒（Aroop Zutshi）与沙利文全球高级副总裁、亚太区联合主席、中国董事长王昕博士一同向沙利文全球董事局主席兼首席执行官富大为（David Frigstad）颁发“远见领导力最佳实践奖”（Visionary Leadership Best Practices Recognition），以表彰其四十余年来以非凡远见和领导力塑造沙利文，并持续推动全球企业实现转型增长的卓越贡献。
At the banquet, Aroop Zutshi, Global President & Managing Partner and Executive Board Member, Frost & Sullivan together with Dr. Neil Wang, Global Senior VP, Co-Chairman of Asia Pacific, and Chairman of China, Frost & Sullivan presented David Frigstad, Global Chairman and CEO, Frost & Sullivan with the Visionary Leadership Best Practices Recognition, in recognition of his extraordinary vision and leadership over four decades in building Frost & Sullivan and continuously driving transformational growth for enterprises worldwide.
沙利文全球总裁兼主管合伙人、全球董事局执行董事祖亚儒（Aroop Zutshi）在颁奖辞中回顾，富大为自创业之初便展现出对全球品牌价值的深刻洞察，以“4G战略”——增长咨询、增长伙伴服务、全球化与GIL峰会——重新定义了行业研究公司的价值边界。他特别指出，富大为比大多数人都更早认识到中国的力量——技术、制造卓越、人才技能与强大生态系统的结合，这也是沙利文能够深耕中国28年并持续引领行业的重要原因。
Aroop Zutshi, Global President & Managing Partner and Executive Board Member of Frost & Sullivan, recalled in his remarks that David Frigstad demonstrated deep insight into global brand value since the firm’s inception, redefining the value of industry research firms through the “4G Strategy” — Growth Consulting, Growth Partnership Services, Globalization, and GIL Summit. He particularly noted that David Frigstad recognized the power of China — the leverage of technology, manufacturing excellence, employee skills and powerful ecosystems — earlier than most, which has been a key reason for Frost & Sullivan’s 28-year deep engagement and continued leadership in China.
“他是我的领导，更是我的人生导师”
在颁奖台上，王昕博士向这位塑造了他整个职业生涯的领导致以最深的感恩：
On stage, Dr. Neil Wang expressed his deepest gratitude to the leader who shaped his entire career:
“富大为先生是我具有远见卓识的领导，是我精神上的导师，更是沙利文背后的灵魂人物。近三十年前，他创立了沙利文GIL峰会。他将沙利文从一间美国办公室发展为一家覆盖近50个国家、跨越65年的全球公司，涵盖所有主要资本市场与股票市场。他教会了我一个信念，这个信念塑造了我所做的一切——增长是永恒的主题，对每个人、对每家企业都是如此。沙利文GIL峰会如今在全球各地举行，今天，我们在中国见证了它的二十周年。这一切如果没有富大为先生的远见，都不会发生。谢谢你，大卫。"
“Mr. David Frigstad has been my visionary leader, my spiritual mentor, and the mastermind behind Frost & Sullivan. He founded the GIL Summit nearly thirty years ago. He built Frost & Sullivan from a single US office into a global firm spanning nearly 50 countries over 65 years, covering all major capital and stock markets. And he taught me the one belief that has shaped everything I do — that growth is the eternal theme, for every human being and every corporation. The GIL Summit is now celebrated across the world, and today, we witness its twentieth anniversary in China. None of this would have happened without David’s vision. Thank you, Dave.”
远见四十年——从一间办公室到全球网络
四十年前，富大为从大学毕业不久便创立了自己的市场研究公司。1993年，他以敏锐的商业洞察收购了Frost & Sullivan，并深刻认识到一个强大全球品牌的巨大价值。由此，他确立了沙利文“4G战略”（4G Strategy）——聚焦增长咨询（Growth Consulting）、增长伙伴服务（Growth Partnership Services）、全球化（Globalization）与GIL 峰会（Growth, Innovation and Leadership Summit)四大支柱，重新定义了行业研究公司的价值边界。
Four decades ago, shortly after graduating from college, David Frigstad founded his own market intelligence and research company. In 1993, with acute business insight, he acquired Frost & Sullivan and recognized the immense power of a strong global brand. This led him to develop the “4G Strategy” — focused on Growth Consulting, Growth Partnership Services, Globalization, and Growth, Innovation and Leadership Summit — redefining the value proposition of an industry research firm.
富大为率先推动研究服务从单份报告向持续订阅模式转型，将实时更新与分析师直接参与融入客户交付；在互联网兴起之初，他便引领公司完成数字化转型，将研究、情报与客户互动全面迁移至线上。随着客户不断寻求本土市场之外的机遇，他以前瞻视野推动全球化，建立全球业务系统（包括CRM与ERP平台），将沙利文的国际版图从单一国家拓展至全球38个国家、45个办公室。
He pioneered the shift from individual research reports to a subscription-based model, integrating real-time updates and direct analyst engagement into client delivery. At the dawn of the internet, he led the firm's digital transformation, moving research, intelligence and client interactions online. As clients increasingly sought opportunities beyond their home markets, he championed globalization by implementing global business systems, including CRM and ERP platforms, expanding Frost & Sullivan's international presence from a single country to 38 countries and 45 offices worldwide.
今天，沙利文已服务超过16,000家企业、政府机构、金融机构及研发组织客户，成为广受认可与尊敬的专业服务机构。在中国，沙利文深耕28年，在企业上市融资的行业顾问服务中保持领先地位。
Today, the company serves more than 16,000 clients, including corporations, government agencies, financial institutions, and R&D organizations. In China, where Frost & Sullivan has operated for 28 years, the firm has become a widely respected professional services leader, holding a leading position in industry advisory services for enterprise listing and financing.
比时代更早看见未来
富大为始终坚信，推动经济发展需要表彰卓越。基于此愿景，他创立了最佳实践奖项体系（Best Practices Recognition Program），表彰在创新、技术领导力、客户价值与地理扩张方面表现卓越的组织。如今，该体系已成为沙利文所服务行业中最受尊敬与广泛认可的荣誉项目之一。
David Frigstad also believed that fostering economic development required recognizing and celebrating business excellence. With this vision, he founded the Best Practices Recognition Program, honoring organizations that demonstrate outstanding innovation, technological leadership, customer value, and geographic expansion. Over time, this program has become one of the most respected and widely recognized awards programs in the industries Frost & Sullivan serves.
早在人工智能成为全球焦点之前，富大为便已预见其变革潜力，开始将AI定位为增长与创新的催化剂。今天，沙利文正演进为“AI驱动、人力赋能、数字化交付”的转型增长伙伴，帮助客户驾驭智能革命，不仅生存，更要繁荣发展。
Long before artificial intelligence became a global priority, David Frigstad recognized its transformational potential and began positioning AI as a catalyst for growth and innovation. Today, Frost & Sullivan is evolving into a transformational growth partner that is “AI-powered, human-enabled, and digitally delivered”, empowering organizations to successfully navigate the intelligence revolution — enabling them not merely to survive, but to thrive.
关于远见领导力最佳实践奖
远见领导力最佳实践奖旨在表彰以非凡战略眼光、持续创新精神与卓越领导力，推动组织实现长期转型增长，并对行业发展产生深远影响的杰出领导。此次富大为获奖，不仅是对其个人四十年领导生涯的致敬，更是对沙利文“以增长为永恒主题”这一核心信念的再次印证。
The Visionary Leadership Best Practices Recognition honors exceptional leaders who, through extraordinary strategic foresight, sustained innovation, and outstanding leadership, have driven organizations toward long-term transformational growth and left a profound impact on industry development. David Frigstad's recognition is not only a tribute to his four-decade leadership journey, but also a reaffirmation of Frost & Sullivan's core belief: that growth is the eternal theme.
