The 15th Summer Davos forum kicked off in Dalian, China, this week, bringing together global leaders to tackle pressing economic challenges under the theme ‘Next Frontiers for Growth’. With over 2,000 attendees from 100+ countries and regions, the event shines a spotlight on innovation, collaboration, and sustainable development in a world facing geopolitical tensions and AI disruption.
Growth in the Age of AI
Chinese Premier Li Qiang set the tone by urging nations to view growth as a ‘race for excellence, not a zero-sum game’. Discussions highlight AI’s transformative potential – from healthcare breakthroughs to climate solutions – while addressing fears about job displacement and ethical risks. One panelist compared today’s AI boom to ‘the internet’s wild early days, but on turbo mode’.
China’s Economic Spotlight
As the world’s second-largest economy navigates slower growth, global eyes are on China’s next moves. Premier Li reassured attendees about the country’s ‘long-term fundamentals’, pointing to green tech investments and a 5.2% GDP growth target. Analysts predict AI partnerships and Southeast Asian trade deals could dominate side discussions.
