PwC at the Annual Meeting of the New Champions
18-20 September, World Economic Forum, Tianjin
The systems that affect our daily lives are undergoing a rapid technological transformation due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The challenge is to make sure that innovation is centred on the needs of humanity. This requires leaders from all walks of life to hone their innovative capabilities and apply them equally to exciting economic opportunities, as well as complex societal challenges.
This is the focus of the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions, which is currently being held in Tianjin, China. Featuring about 200 sessions, the meeting brings together over 2,000 senior business and government leaders, policy makers, technology and innovation experts, academic leaders and journalists from over 80 countries. As a strategic partner to the WEF, PwC is once again having a strong presence at the event.
