China makes innovation new engine of growth
China DailySONG CHEN/CHINA DAILY Innovation is a key force driving global development and solving complex problems. As a major champion of new energy technologies, China, thanks to its emphasis on innovation, has improved energy efficiency, cut the cost of renewable energy, and reduced its reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to global environmental protection and sustainable development. Looking ahead, China continues to be the major global player in manufacturing clean energy technologies, according to World Economic Forum 2024 Energy Transition Index, and is significantly increasing its domestic renewable energy capacity with record-level solar photovoltaics. The World Economic Forum's 15th Annual Meeting of the New Champions will explore next frontiers for growth and unleash its growth so as to build a sustainable future through innovation. We look forward to welcoming more Chinese representatives on the World Economic Forum's platform, to get new insights into many issues, make new connections and engage in discussions, while promoting global cooperation and innovation, in a bid to build a better future for humankind.
