SETTING THE AGENDA
TRAINING CHINA'S COMPUTING MUSCLE
China has the world's second largest amount of computing power, and that number is likely to grow as tech giants like Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and Huawei invest in building up China's computing muscle. But what will businesses do with all this power? Future technologies, like artificial intelligence, need a lot of computing power--much more than what's required by current digital business models. Enterprises will have to identify the critical problems that computing power can help them tackle and solve. FORTUNE talks with the founder of Alibaba Cloud to learn more about how China's computing power can do for industry.
CHARGING AHEAD: THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE RACE GOES GLOBAL
In the global race top build electric vehicles, many of the early front-runners hail from China. In their home market, Chinese players including BYD, NIO, XPENG, and LI Auto, are outperforming Tesla and other foreign carmakers. Will China’s EV manufacturers prove equally competitive as they expand into markets overseas?
WHAT DOES CHATGPT MEAN FOR YOUR BUSINESSES? (VIRTUAL)
ChatGPT, a new artificial intelligence chatbot, has taken the internet by storm. Both the U.S. and China have touted A.I. breakthroughs in recent months. How can businesses use the same technology that powers ChatGPT to improve their business operations? We talk to one of the leading founders of enterprise software and A.I. to find out.

INVESTING FOR THE LONG-TERM
China has identified a host of complex, research-intensive sectors including semiconductors, quantum computing, nuclear fusion, electric vehicles, and solar power as critical priorities for the nation’s economic development. But unlike investments in consumer-facing internet companies, investments in these “hard” sectors may take a long time to mature. Great scientific discoveries can take decades to move from the lab to the marketplace. Do investors have the patience to deploy capital over extended periods?
THE INTERNET COMES OF AGE： COMPUTING POWER IN EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE
Quantum computing could be the next big step in processing power, unlocking new advances in modeling, optimization, and A.I.-driven development—if the technology can ever be developed commercially. How far away is quantum computing from commercial viability? What are the opportunities for industrial innovation and growth? And, with reports that a Chinese company has developed a so-called practical quantum computer, how far along are China's efforts?
NAVIGATING INNOVATION AND TENSIONS, A VIEW FROM CES (VIRTUAL)
Emerging technologies, such as generative AI, are going to be the biggest changes for business in the coming year. Yet tech competition and political tensions between the U.S. and China could constrain global cooperation on new technologies. We sat down with the leaders of CES, one of the world's largest technology events, to discuss how these changes and tensions will affect the technology industry and how companies should adapt to the changing landscape.
NUCLEAR FUSION’S TIME TO SHINE
Mankind's constant search for new sources of energy has led to competition between the United States and China in an unexpected field: commercially viable nuclear fusion. China has created a record-setting “artificial sun,” while the U.S. recently announced a breakthrough in fusion ignition. What is the future of commercially viable fusion energy?
DIGITAL REVOLUTION: HOW HISTORY SHAPES OUR FUTURE(VIRTUAL)
“History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” The digital age has been the source of tremendous progress throughout human society, but it has helped spark immense instability and inequality. What can we learn from the technology-driven upheavals of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which shaped the world that incubated today’s technology? We'll talk with the former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) about the lessons of history and how they can help us tackle the challenges we face today.

DRIVING DIGITAL SUCCESS
To remain competitive in today's ever-changing business world, companies must modernize their operations and increase their efficiency to stay ahead. Yet despite the availability of new technologies and tools, the path forward for business is not always clear. The companies that stay ahead of the curve have found ways to use the right technologies and tools to develop new products that meet changing market needs and address challenging situations. What can we learn from their experiences?
CARBON NEUTRALITY: THE PATH TO ZERO
Organizations around the world are confronted by the challenge of developing and deploying climate technologies in order to reach the global net-zero agenda. Scaling these technologies requires leaders to build new value chains and industrial ecosystems, and to decide whether to prioritize near-term earnings or to focus on potential future exponential growth. Leaders must develop a winning strategy to successfully navigate this complex landscape, l. We talk with experts in this field on how to choose the best strategy as the world moves to a carbon-neutral future.
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY MEETS TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE
Several policies have been released in recent years to support the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and further promote the revitalization of the industry. Beyond this policy support, how can the industry address the challenges and opportunities it’s currently facing? How can innovative technologies such as cutting-edge biotechnology and artificial intelligence help Chinese medicine contribute more discoveries like “artemisinin,” which led to a Nobel Prize, to the world?

A NEW ERA OF GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY COOPERATION
As global geopolitics get more complicated, companies are finding it more difficult to transfer technology across regions and borders. New regulations are also making it tough to enter and exit the capital markets. But with today’s global division of labor, it’s difficult to completely avoid collaboration between countries in technological R&D.
Therefore, it is imperative we establish commonly-recognized market principles and standards for technological R&D collaboration and technology transfer—particularly in view of common challenges such as pandemics and climate change—thereby making collaboration more efficient and together promoting the overall progress of technology. How can we view the next 10 years from the perspectives of global capital and technology cooperation? Are regionalization and isolation inevitable? What can give people the confidence to work together?
HARNESSING THE POWER OF AI BREAKTHROUGHS
The past year has brought a host of dramatic advances in artificial intelligence. OpenAI’s GPT-3 language model demonstrated unprecedented natural language generation capabilities that could revolutionize human-computer interaction.
