Over 2,000 prominent leaders from politics, business, civil society, academia and the arts will convene¹ in China's northeastern coastal² city Dalian, from June 27 to 29 for the 11th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as Summer Davos.

 

7月27日至29日第11届新领军者年度会议，又名“夏季达沃斯”，将在滨海城市大连召开，届时将有来自政界、商界、民间团体、学术界以及艺术界2000多名杰出领导人参加会议。

 

The meeting, themed "Achieving Inclusive Growth in the Fourth Industrial Revolution," will focus on how technology and policy innovations can accelerate a more inclusive style of economic growth that prioritizes meaningful job creation and sustainable development.

 

Established in 2007, the meeting has become a key gathering³ on science, technology and innovation.

 

"Technology and innovation have a huge role to play in helping⁴ to build societies that are resilient, prosperous and inclusive. The Annual Meeting of the New Champions is unique not only in its ability to equip leaders with the insights needed to successfully navigate⁵ this period of change, but also in the way it convenes⁶ leaders from across all stakeholder groups. We hope in this way that it provides leaders with a platform to build meaningful, multi-stakeholder partnerships⁷ to address the critical challenges our world faces," said David Aikman, chief representative officer, Greater China, World Economic Forum⁸..

 

The 2017 program focuses on four themes that will shape more than 200 sessions over the three-day meeting: focusing on scaling up human-centered technology, leading continuous reinvention, creating sustainable systems and responding to geo-economic shifts.
