The daily deployment of artificial intelligence models has exceeded millions of billions, and the large-scale commercialization of embodied intelligence is accelerating... The vigorous vitality of China's innovation has attracted worldwide attention. At the 17th Summer Davos Forum held recently, "scale innovation" became the theme word. The attendees look forward to understanding Chinese innovation here and are even more eager to seek new opportunities for cooperation through exchanges and mutual learning.
How did China's innovation surge into a tide? Behind this lies arduous efforts and long-term perseverance. In recent years, the average annual growth rate of research and development funds in China has been 10%, and the proportion of basic research funds has continuously reached new highs, which is the accumulation of hard work and internal strength. The world's most complete industrial system, combined with a super large market of over 1.4 billion people, enables valuable technologies to quickly cross the "Darwin's Sea" from laboratories to markets, iterate in applications, and break through in iterations. This is the growth tempered by the market. The innovation clusters spread across the country, the accelerated expansion of computing power and new power grids, and the increasingly perfect institutional guarantees are planting a fertile ground for systematic innovation, which is the driving force for ecological conservation. The resonance of the three creates a surging force.
The achievements of China's innovation have won increasing praise from the international community. When some politicians hype up the so-called "China Impact 2.0" argument, more and more rational voices define the present as "China Opportunity 2.0". The change in the word is behind China's firm action to provide innovation dividends to the world: the global cumulative download of China's open source artificial intelligence large model has exceeded 10 billion times, controllable nuclear fusion, quantum technology and other large scientific devices are open to the world, and the Tiangong Space Station is about to welcome foreign astronauts. More importantly, China is opening up its super large market and comprehensive innovation ecosystem to the world. Enterprises from various countries can quickly find full process partners from research and development, trial production to mass production here, not only winning opportunities in the Chinese market, but also enhancing their competitiveness towards the world.
The enthusiasm of the world for seeking innovative cooperation with China is increasing. By 2025, there will be 14000 newly established foreign-funded enterprises in the field of scientific research and technical services, a year-on-year increase of 27.2%. More and more foreign companies will set up research and development centers and regional headquarters in China. This enthusiasm was vividly demonstrated at this year's Davos Forum. The forum has set up multiple thematic discussions on "scale innovation", including artificial intelligence governance and advanced manufacturing, making innovation practices of Chinese enterprises a hot topic of discussion. From representatives of multinational corporations, Silicon Valley venture capital funds to emerging market entrepreneurs, the core demands that come from across the ocean are highly consistent: not only to observe Chinese innovation, but also to deeply embed itself in the world's most active innovation chain and find the next tipping point for technology landing and business growth.
This kind of cooperation is just in time. The current global economic recovery is weak, and innovation cooperation is an inevitable choice to solve the growth dilemma. However, cutting-edge technologies naturally have a high threshold and high barrier tendency, coupled with the increasing trend of "building walls and barriers" and "technological blockade", which has deepened the global development gap. China insists on opening its doors to innovation, and many innovations take the open source route, making new technologies and products more accessible and affordable for more countries, especially developing countries. This not only enhances their development capabilities, but also helps to solve global problems.
In the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, no country or company can dominate the world. During this forum, China once again sent a clear signal of expanding openness and deepening innovation cooperation. It will integrate into the global innovation and industrial division of labor system with a more active attitude, work together with all parties, and create a win-win situation with the power of innovation, making greater contributions to promoting the construction of an open world economy.
