China‑hosted Summer Davos 2026: Innovation & Financing Re‑sh

Overview

The 17th Summer Davos (Annual Meeting of the New Champions) convened in Dalian from 23‑25 June 2026, drawing over 1,800 delegates from more than 90 countries – a record turnout. Under the “Innovating at Scale” theme, the forum showcased AI, robotics, quantum, bio‑manufacturing and green technologies, with the venue powered by 100 % renewable electricity and using over 85 % recycled materials. WEF executives emphasized strong corporate appetite for partnership with China, while Premier Li Qiang stressed innovation as essential for long‑term economic resilience and the creation of a “next billion jobs”. Sessions focused on translating breakthroughs in AI, energy and digital transformation into tangible economic value, and examined the evolving geoeconomic landscape, including US‑China trade, APEC and ASEAN. A Belt‑and‑Road sub‑forum marked the initiative’s ten‑year anniversary, with Kazakhstan and Guinea’s prime ministers highlighting transit‑hub status and infrastructure benefits. In Beijing, Foreign Minister Wang Yi met Austrian Foreign Minister Beate Mink Raisinger to celebrate 55 years of diplomatic ties and pledge deeper cooperation in trade, investment and green development. In July, China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange announced a bundle of cross‑border financing reforms aimed at simplifying capital‑project settlement, expanding eligible enterprises, piloting green‑bond programs and moving registration services online. The measures are intended to lower costs for foreign‑invested and outbound firms, boost the efficiency of cross‑border investment, and maintain macro‑prudential safeguards; foreign‑exchange business volume more than doubled in the first half of the year. Forum speakers linked these financial reforms to the “scaled innovation” agenda, stressing coordinated action among government, industry, academia and finance to turn technological breakthroughs into broad societal benefits. Foreign firms comprised roughly 70 % of participants, seeking to leverage China’s manufacturing capacity and export‑ready innovations. China’s rise to 10th place in the 2025 Global Innovation Index was underscored.
