“Shandong ranks third among Chinese provinces in aggregate economic terms, but encounters enormous challenges in balancing population, resources and the environment. We believe those gathered here at the annual China Green Companies Summit will help solve these problems.” - Guo Shuqing Governor, Shandong Province
“The theme of the 2016 China Green Companies Summit, Redefining the Jungle: A New Business Order, can be understood as the construction of a sustainable business ecology. A ‘new business order’ underlines China's new economic normal, and our unwavering strive towards better economic and social development. 2016 marks the tenth anniversary of the China Entrepreneur Club (CEC). To commemorate this milestone, ten CEC members offer vision and insight into the next ten years ahead.” - Ma Weihua President, China Entrepreneur Club
“Clean energy is being embraced around the world and our countries must work together to claim a leadership role in the global transition to a low carbon economy.” - Justin Trudeau Prime Minster of Canada

“Six Megatrends Impacting China and the World”
1. Supply-side reform is the key to China's economic transformation. Expect increased consumption, growth in the services sector and upgraded manufacturing. 2. A new government-business relationship: from personal to entity relations built on the basis of legal framework. 3. Implications of slowdown in growth worldwide. A new normal for the world, full of challenges and opportunities. 4. Weakening of globalization coupled with the rise of protectionism, stricter immigration, investment, and regulatory policies. 5. Complex outcomes resulting from the rise of technological innovation, and automation of jobs across industries. 6. Continued tension and widening of income disparity in countries across the world. - Qian Yingyi Dean and Professor, School of Economics and Management, Tsinghua University
“I regard China’s economic slowdown as normal, and a force of good. It’s bringing us the opportunity and space for industry transformation.” - Michael Yu Vice President, China Entrepreneur Club Chairman and CEO, New Oriental Education and Technology Group Founding Partner, Angel Plus
“The upgrading of China's energy system will play a central role in continued sustainable economic growth. Renewable energy and gas are our best sources of energy to drive the next ten years, with solar, nuclear, and biomass each offering terrific growth potential.” - Wang Yusuo Chairman, ENN Group
“The value of Xiaomi is not just about performance; Xiaomi has always driven industry change and progress. Xiaomi will not go public in the next five years. Our full attend will remain on making great products.” - Lei Jun Founder, Chairman & CEO, Xiaomi Inc.
“Great future innovation potential will source from the breakdown of industry barriers. The Internet ecosystem model will replace the specialization model, and gradually carry the global economy into a new era.” - Jia Yueting, CEO, Le Holdings (Beijing) Co., Ltd. Jack Ma: If we switched places and you represented one of the BAT (Baidu-Alibaba-Tencent) companies, what would you do differently? Jia Yueting: It is true that in any age, there will be some representative companies that monopolize a lot of society’s resources. But that’s not important because society constantly changes, and the changes of each age will bring newer, stronger companies to the fore. So to break through the lock, or the mountains, of the great companies of an age, what you need is just to judge what the next age will be, and not go trying to work in the BAT companies’ areas. Thinking about it from a different perspective, aiming higher, letting the dimensions of the next age guide your strategy, and using your own resources to walk a different path, you might just lead the coming of the next age.
“As the world's second-largest economy, China's large companies are far from adequate. Size and excellence are two very different concepts. In the future, a company will not be evaluated on size but upon excellence.” - Jack Ma Chairman, China Entrepreneur Club Executive Chairman, Alibaba Group
Smart Manufacturing
“In deciding how to design better vehicles, the human factor is always the most important. There are many obstacles in the realization of smart manufacturing that require human solutions and problem solving.” - Dr. Robert Engelhorn Senior Vice President, BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd.
“Smart manufacturing is a means rather than the purpose. Though our factories employ numerous smart devices, the future of automation will not lie entirely in smart-based operations, it will need talented people to drive the ecosystem.” - Zhu Hai Executive Vice President, President of China, Schneider Electric
“The manufacturing sector must create a seamless connection between logistics, information, and capital flow. This seamless connection is ultimately a manufacturing process integrating the customers unique requests into production.”
- Guo Guangchang Vice President, China Entrepreneur Club Chairman, Fosun Group
“Industry still remains the core foundation of China's economy. If the competitiveness of China’s industry fails to rise, the development space for services will be constrained.” - Tomson Li Chairman of the Board and CEO, TCL Corporation
“The development of China's healthcare industry will directly relate to the implementation of cost control and standardization. Big Data, advanced IT Systems, artificial intelligence, wearable devices and personalized medicine will each play a key part in this transformation.” - Liu Jiren Chairman and CEO, Neusoft Corporation
Tomorrow's Healthcare
“In the future we will find some hospitals have become medical centers with no beds, with doctors that have mastered numerous skills and patients able to leave shortly after a surgery. This will allow for one hospital to do so much more.” - Efi Cohen-Arazi Founder and CEO, Rainbow Medical
“Over the next ten years, effective client operating systems will become the core of companies. Product and service providers offering a continuous online presence and the ability to provide curated product and service experiences will become client operators.” - Edward Tian Chairman, China Broadband Capital Partners, L.P. Chairman, AsiaInfo Holdings, Inc.
“The significance of the shared economy is the continued ability to offer better, exciting services at a lower cost to more users.” - Liu Zhen Director of China Strategy, Uber China
“The next era of mobile Internet will further lessen the dependence on search, and allow for tailored content based on deep understanding of personal interest and peer recommendation.” - Charles Chao Chairman and CEO, SINA Corporation
Mobile Internet
Investing Smart Money
“The future of an industry and return on investment are two different things. It is most important to make clear the nature of each industry to yield high returns, and that high-return nature means a very high threshold for that industry.”
- Duane Kuang Founder, Qiming Venture Partners
“In this era of entrepreneurship and innovation, China needs a system for direct venture capital investment. Financial reform must support a number of new financial forces in the development of multi-level capital markets.”
“Many 'unicorns' in China have encountered greater difficulties in the later stages of development due to overvaluation and the saturation of China's capital markets. This bubble is getting crushed.”
- Jeffrey Li Chairman & CEO, GL Capital Group
- Ma Weihua President, China Entrepreneur Club President of Council, National Fund for Technology Transfer and Commercialization
Sustainable Development
ZERO CARBON SUMMIT Since 2011, the China Green Companies Summit has been a carbon neutral conference. With support of the China Green Carbon Foundation and generous donation of the Lao Niu Foundation, 58 acres of land in Horinger County, Inner Mongolia will offset emissions generated from the 2016 Summit. “Nine years ago, the China Green Companies Summit was launched with a focus on building a green business ecosystem in China. Through our green example, China's business and social environment can build a stronger green awareness. The bigger the problem business can solve for society, the larger the returns.” - Jack Ma Chairman, China Entrepreneur Club Executive Chairman, Alibaba Group
