Themed "Scaling Innovation," the annual meeting attracted approximately 1,800 political and business leaders, representatives of international organizations, and academic elites from over 90 countries and regions, engaging in discussions on cutting-edge topics such as artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, clean energy, and biotechnology.
The China Machinery Industry Federation (CMIF), established in 2001, is a comprehensive industry association voluntarily formed by national and regional machinery industry associations, key enterprises and institutions, research institutes, and universities and colleges during China's industrial management system reform. It currently has over 270 direct member units and more than 10,000 indirect member units, making it one of the most influential industry organizations in China's machinery sector. The Summer Davos Forum is an annual event hosted by the World Economic Forum (WEF), aimed at providing a platform for global political, business, and academic communities to exchange ideas and discuss cutting-edge issues in world economic development.
During the forum, Xu Niansha met with Alois Zwinggi, President and CEO of the World Economic Forum. Zwinggi thanked CMIF for its long-standing support to the World Economic Forum, and the two sides exchanged views on deepening bilateral collaboration. Additionally, Xu Niansha held talks with Ali Mudaifa, Executive CEO of the Economic Development Board of the Kingdom of Bahrain. The Bahraini side introduced its economic policies and business environment, expressing hope that more Chinese machinery enterprises would develop in Bahrain. The two sides engaged in in-depth discussions on cooperation potential in areas such as engineering machinery, industrial machinery, and automobiles.
Xu Niansha was also invited to speak at the Industrial Internet 2.0 Closed-Door Forum on June 23. He stated that China's machinery industry has a massive scale and ample AI application scenarios, but large-scale promotion is currently constrained by challenges such as technology costs, data standards, coordination mechanisms, and professional talent. He introduced that CMIF is building multiple platforms for science and technology innovation, standards, talent, and international cooperation to facilitate the intelligent upgrade of the industry. Moving forward, it will uphold the principle of open collaboration, promote compliant data sharing, deepen international industrial exchanges, and work with global partners to seize opportunities in industrial internet development. The forum released several authoritative research reports, including the "Energy Transition Index" and "Top 10 Emerging Technologies," providing references for global industrial development and economic recovery.
