DALIAN, China, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dalian in June radiates vibrant energy.
From June 23 to 25, the 17th Annual Meeting of the New Champions organized by the
World Economic Forum will be held here, marking the ninth collaboration between 
Summer Davos and Dalian. The event welcomes over 1,700 guests from more than 90 
countries and regions, setting a record high for registration. Centered around the
theme of ‘Innovation at Scale,’ attendees will explore how to unlock new growth 
models and unleash positive economic momentum through innovation and cutting-edge
technologies amid rapid global transformations.

Dalian stands as the perfect embodiment of ‘innovation’ and ‘openness.’ As a gateway
for China’s opening-up, the city is undergoing a profound transformation from a 
traditional industrial base into a regional sci-tech innovation center with national
influence. At Yinggeshi Science City, national-level researchers are making breakthroughs
in frontier fields such as catalysis and high-end bearings; in the High-Tech Zone,
numerous ‘specialized, refined, unique, and innovative’ (SRDI) enterprises are converting
laboratory data into tangible products. From the ‘hydrogen-powered heart’ that addresses
drone endurance challenges to advanced industrial software, Dalian is leveraging
its robust scientific and educational resources to transform technological innovation—
its primary driving force—into core competitiveness for industrial development.

A closer look at Dalian reveals a heavy industrial powerhouse shouldering its responsibilities
in the global energy transition. As a national petrochemical base, Dalian is drawing
on its unique research advantages and geographical position to drive the traditional
energy and chemical sectors toward a ‘high-end, intelligent, and green’ transformation.
Backed by leading research institutions like the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics(
DICP), the city is continuously making breakthroughs in frontier fields such as 
energy catalytic conversion and fine chemicals, reshaping its industrial structure
and offering a resilient and sustainable ‘Dalian Solution’ for global energy transition.

To host guests from across the globe, Dalian has made comprehensive preparations
in service support, not only in terms of its infrastructure but also its meticulous
attention to details. As a national low-carbon pilot city, new energy vehicles (
NEVs) account for the majority of the conference’s service vehicles, demonstrating
the city’s deep-rooted commitment to green travel. Backed by technologies like 5G-
A, the network capabilities at the venues have been significantly upgraded. Beyond
the conference halls, attendees can relax at urban events such as the Cherry Festival
and Beach Festival, enjoy fishing against azure skies, or simply take a ‘city walk’
to savor the scenery of Dalian.

The ‘Dalian Moment’ at Davos returns, not only sparking a brainstorming session 
about the future, but also marking a profound convergence of global wisdom and the
city’s unique charm. In this era of uncertainty, Dalian is striving to offer the
world a definitive answer: through openness and cooperation, innovation can truly
become an inexhaustible driving force for human progress.
