Q5 China last year reduced energy intensity by 5.1 percent, raised the nonfossil energy share to 21.7 percent, and expanded new-type energy storage capacity beyond 130 gigawatts. Artificial intelligence and advanced technologies remain at the forefront globally. Where do you see the strongest partnership potential in China's green transition and AI-driven industrial upgrading? Are you expanding investment in renewables, digitalization, smart manufacturing, or carbon management solutions? How central is China to your global sustainability roadmap and next-generation technology deployment?

Depoux: Today China is not only a manufacturing powerhouse, but also a global innovation hub shaping trends in sustainability and high-tech industries. Taking AI as an example, previously, most of the AI-driven gains in China came from the traditional AI technologies/models, such as traditional machine learning, deep learning, computer vision and automation. With China's industrial modernization drive, AI-powered automation has been embedded in the Chinese industry. Autonomous robots and AI-optimized production lines are common in large-scale manufacturing and logistics.

At Roland Berger, we aim to empower our clients to turn their AI ambitions into tangible value through close co-creation. We combine deep industry expertise with proven transformation capabilities to support the entire journey of our client — from defining a clear digital/AI strategy and measurable outcomes to designing and deploying AI solutions.

Cheng: China has made remarkable progress in green, low-carbon transition as the world's top green energy producer, advancing steadily toward carbon peaking and neutrality. As a sustainable development and transition finance leader, DBS has a robust green financial product matrix, supports corporate green financing across renewables, transportation, agriculture and urban construction that drive low-carbon transformation of high-carbon industries, and seize green finance's dual opportunities for China and Asia.

Aligning with the government's agenda of integrating education, tech and talent and building international sci-tech innovation centers, DBS set up its tech arm in the China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City in 2023. Leveraging China's tech talent, we have built a full technological system, boosting DBS's global digital upgrade and aiming to create a world-class sci-tech innovation hub within the Greater Bay Area's cluster.
