Beijing Forum Highlights Business Confidence in China’s Vision
Global elevator giant KONE sees China’s roadmap for urban renewal, green tech, and digitalization as a golden ticket for growth, CEO Philippe Delorme announced at the 2026 China Development Forum in Beijing this week. With the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan now in motion, Delorme emphasized how policy transparency helps multinational companies like KONE align long-term strategies.
🚀 "For us as a business, it's extremely helpful because we know what to expect," he said, highlighting China’s focus on sustainable cities and smart infrastructure. As over 60% of KONE’s R&D investments target eco-friendly solutions, Delorme sees "massive potential" in China’s push for greener urbanization.
🌱 Analysts note that China’s tech-driven urban renewal projects could unlock $1.2 trillion in global opportunities by 2030. For young professionals and investors, this signals a prime moment to watch sectors like AI-powered logistics and carbon-neutral construction.
