Rio Tinto CEO Jakob Stausholm is doubling down on China partnerships, calling the China International Import Expo (CIIE) a 'game-changer' for global businesses. In an exclusive chat with journalist Zheng Junfeng, he revealed how the mega-event boosts innovation and unlocks doors for sustainable development.
'The CIIE is like a global matchmaker,' Stausholm said, highlighting how it connects companies with China's thriving markets. As a top metals supplier, Rio Tinto credits the expo for sharpening its competitive edge through tech collaborations and green initiatives.
But it’s not just about profits. Stausholm emphasized Rio Tinto’s race to net-zero emissions, with China partnerships accelerating low-carbon projects. Think hydrogen-powered steelmaking and blockchain mineral tracing – the kind of tech that could make your future smartphone greener.
For young entrepreneurs eyeing Asia? Stausholm’s advice: 'Think long-term and local.' With cross-border teamwork now smoother than a K-pop dance routine, he sees 2024 as prime time to ride the CIIE wave.
