The 15th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as Summer Davos, is taking place in Dalian, Liaoning Province from June 25 to 27, 2024. This prestigious event serves as a key window to observe the latest achievements and emerging trends in global economic development.
This year’s forum is themed \\"Next Frontiers for Growth,\\" emphasizing the collective pursuit of progress. In his opening remarks, Chinese Premier Li Qiang highlighted that exploring new frontiers is not a zero-sum game but a collaborative journey where all participants strive for excellence and shared advancement.
Summer Davos traditionally centers on economic growth—the enduring heartbeat of the forum. Looking back, previous themes have included \\"Relaunching Growth\\" in 2009, \\"Mastering Quality Growth\\" in 2011, and \\"Charting a New Course for Growth\\" in 2015. This continuity underscores the forum’s commitment to addressing the evolving challenges and opportunities in global economics.
Currently, the global economy faces weak and uncertain growth prospects, driven by geopolitical conflicts, tight financing conditions, and the disruptive impact of artificial intelligence. According to Premier Li, these are compounded by deeper, intrinsic issues that hinder sustained growth, making economic development the foremost concern for nations worldwide.
China’s economic trajectory is also under the spotlight. As a major engine of global economic growth, China has consistently infused vigor and vitality into the world economy. The forum anticipates in-depth discussions on China’s economic development, offering diverse perspectives on how China can continue to drive global prosperity.
Innovation, particularly in artificial intelligence, is another focal point of the forum. The rapid emergence of AI technologies has captured the public’s imagination, and Summer Davos aims to explore their impact on economic growth and societal needs. By uncovering the latest scientific and technological breakthroughs, the forum seeks to harness innovation as a catalyst for sustainable development.
