Agenda focus
Sovereign wealth funds and other major public investors offer sources of long-term capital for emerging industries. Leveraging their size and long-term vision, these institutions are expanding investments in sectors such as clean energy, artificial intelligence, digital infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and biotech.
As the new wave of technological innovation continues to advance, emerging industries are not only reshaping the global competitive landscape but also creating new strategic investment opportunities for long-term capital. At the same time, rising global economic uncertainty, environmental impacts, changes in industrial policy and intensifying technological competition are introducing new challenges and risks for cross-border investment.
This session will explore how long-term capital identifies future industrial opportunities, builds cross-regional investment cooperation networks and supports sustainable development.
