They will speak from an international perspective about global technology frontier trends across dimensions such as smart hardware, artificial intelligence, outbound eco-systems, investment trends, future consumption, maker culture. These guests both represent frontier thinking in capital and industry, and will stimulate resonance across the global innovation ecosystem.
The event is oriented toward real world, tangible needs — by sharing convertible practical experiences and industry insights, it will push continuous evolution of the intelligent hardware ecosystem.
Two days and 25+ high-density agendas, showcasing new forces
The two-day tightly structured programme keeps to industry trends and focuses on key topics such as next-generation smart device innovation, robotics application in practice, deep integration of AI with life scenarios.
The agenda covers the whole industry chain of “AI × smart hardware × deep tech”, comprehensively presenting the rise of “new” forces. From AI robotics to future mobility, from deep-tech breakthroughs to creative consumer scenarios, the XIN Summit focuses on technology’s real-world implementation and transformation, making tech imagination into experience.
Cross-domain thinking collisions, co-creation of inspiration
XIN Summit not only focuses on the deep fusion of technology, innovation and capital, it also aims to uncover innovation from cultural, educational and social perspectives. This edition also gathers renowned lyricists, independent scholars, popular science psychologists, designers, media people and academic speakers. They will explore topics around psychology, design, creativity, content and more — upgrading technology discussion into a multi-cultural, multi-dimensional future dialogue.
