As these systems evolve, trusted frameworks for data governance, interoperability, and AI oversight are becoming essential to ensure reliability, privacy, and resilience across interconnected markets. International collaboration in these areas will be key to unlocking new value while maintaining security and stability in an increasingly digital energy economy.

Can data-intensive industries and digital infrastructure expand sustainably without straining grids or inflating emissions? How can decentralised power systems and energy-as-a-service models improve both resilience and efficiency? And what partnerships will ensure that digital growth becomes a driver – rather than a drag – on global decarbonisation and energy security?

 

Attendee Insights: Explore how new digital infrastructure and decentralised power is reshaping the world’s energy architecture for a connected, low-carbon future.

EV Superpower: How China is Shaping the Global Future of New Energy Vehicles

China’s rise as an electric vehicle superpower is transforming not just its domestic market, but the global automotive landscape. Through sustained policy support, scale-driven innovation, and global supply-chain integration, Chinese manufacturers now lead the world in EV production, battery technology, and charging infrastructure. As new-energy vehicles become central to China’s industrial and energy strategy, the nation is exporting both technology and business models – partnering with automakers, utilities, and digital platforms across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe to accelerate electrification worldwide.

How can Chinese innovation in batteries, digital systems and smart mobility reshape the cost and accessibility of clean transport? Will the global spread of China’s integrated EV–battery–grid model create new patterns of industrial cooperation or competition? And how can joint investment in technology, standards, and infrastructure turn the EV revolution into a foundation for global low-carbon growth?

 

Attendee Insights: Understand how China’s leadership in EVs, batteries, and mobility ecosystems is setting the pace for the world’s transition to clean, intelligent transportation.

Energy Systems of 2035: What Success Looks Like

By 2035, the energy systems that thrive will be secure, digital, and decarbonised – anchored in innovation, collaboration, and resilience. China’s evolving energy transition offers a practical model for achieving this balance, demonstrating how industrial strength, technological leadership, and policy alignment can coexist with environmental responsibility and shared prosperity. This closing dialogue looks ahead to what the next decade of transformation will mean for nations, industries, and societies worldwide.

What will define success in the energy systems of 2035 – technology, governance, or trust? Can shared infrastructure, data, and policy frameworks deliver true resilience in an interconnected global economy? And how can China’s example as both pioneer and partner guide collective progress toward energy security, climate stability, and inclusive growth?

 

Attendee Insights: Reflect on what success in the energy transition will mean by 2035 – and how partnerships are shaping the secure, digital, and decarbonised energy systems of the future.
