Ms. Wang emphasized the surge in frontier technologies such as AI, cloud computing, big data, metaverse, etc., which have created a robust market valued at USD 350 billion today. These technologies are promising in addressing global concerns, yet they also contribute to the "digital divide" among regions. In response, WIPO has convened eight sessions of the "Conversation on IP and Frontier Technologies" since 2019 to align IP policies with the evolving innovation environment, which have attracted more than 2,000 participants from over 120 countries in each session, including policymakers, innovators, creators, entrepreneurs, and IP experts, notably Chinese stakeholders from government agencies, innovative enterprises, universities and institutions.

Ms. Wang commended China for its innovation leadership, hosting 24 of the top 100 global science and technology clusters, with Xi'an being a notable example, ranking 19th globally. She also celebrated the achievement of Xi'an KissFuture Network Technology as one of the seven winners of the 2023 WIPO Global Awards, which honors SMEs that harness innovation for positive global impact. WIPO is committed to working with partners in China, leveraging IP, innovation and creativity to foster sustainable development globally.
