At the successful conclusion of the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation this year and the full radiance of the influence of the Belt and Road Initiative to the international community, the Macau International Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum (hereinafter referred to as the "Forum") hosted by the China International Contractors Association (hereinafter referred to as the "Chamber") ushered in the milestone of its tenth anniversary. At this important moment, the Volvo Construction Equipment United Chamber of Commerce and upstream and downstream enterprises and institutions in the infrastructure industry chain, combined with their own inherent professional fields, jointly explored a new model of cross-border cooperation in infrastructure, and issued the "Joint Initiative on Promoting Cross-Industry Chain Collaboration in the Belt and Road Initiative and Serving the High-Quality and Sustainable Development of Infrastructure" (hereinafter referred to as the "Joint Initiative"), which added a strong touch to the theme of this forum, "Promoting High-Quality and Sustainable Development of International Infrastructure".
Tomas Kuta, Senior Vice President of Global Sales at Volvo Construction Equipment, attended the parallel forum on "Strengthening Collaboration in the Industrial Chain to Serve the High-quality Development of Infrastructure" and delivered a speech, saying that as the world's largest country in infrastructure investment, China is at the center of global technological change. Promoting cross-departmental and cross-industry communication and collaboration is of great significance for the implementation of innovative breakthroughs in industry practice, driving high-quality development of infrastructure, and improving the sustainability of the entire industry chain.
The "Belt and Road" initiative has been proposed for five years. The focus of infrastructure construction has gradually shifted from the speed and breadth of construction to the two major tasks of "high quality" and "sustainability". In addition, the complexity of the issues involved in infrastructure construction in an international environment has far exceeded the scope of a single engineering contracting company or even a single industry. At the current stage of development, it is inevitable to carry out cooperation across the industry chain.
Tomas Kuta introduced that Volvo Construction Equipment has accumulated a wealth of technology and experience by adhering to the spirit of innovation: from electrification on-site operation projects, 5G operation tests, artificial intelligence on-site safety solutions, to the "Greater Paris" infrastructure plan, Volvo Construction Equipment has gathered the strength of customers, government departments, research institutions and companies in other fields through technological innovation, participated in a series of projects that lead the future development direction of the industry, and promoted various cutting-edge technologies to serve infrastructure construction. "Other people's stones can polish jade", Volvo Construction Equipment will promote exchanges and cooperation in the construction industry chain of countries around the world with the grand vision of building an ideal life. “Cooperation” has become the keyword that Volvo Group adheres to in participating in the discussions at this summit forum. Ma Jun, President of Volvo (China) Investment Co., Ltd., said at the parallel forum of “Innovative Cooperation to Promote the Belt and Road Initiative Sustainable Infrastructure Forum“: “We need to explore innovative cooperation models to meet the needs of a complex environment. "The deepening of cooperation between multinational companies and China through the Belt and Road Initiative will not only help China learn from the world experience of multinational companies, but also help multinational companies benefit from participating in related construction. "No one party can solve the challenges we face today alone, so we need to cooperate and build alliances. The Volvo Group has already been working in this way and looks forward to working with all parties in China to elevate cooperation to a new and higher level." ”
In this “Strengthen the collaborative cooperation of the industrial chain At the parallel forum "Serving the High-quality Development of Infrastructure", representatives from ZTE Corporation, China Civil Engineering Group Co., Ltd., China Energy Engineering Group International Engineering Co., Ltd., Trimble Global, and Dell Technologies delivered keynote speeches, and in the interactive discussion session, they had in-depth exchanges with representatives from Beijing Rongshijie Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. and Beijing Dacheng (Shanghai) Law Firm on the definition of "high-quality" and "sustainable" development, and the basis, path, obstacles and purpose of forming a good collaborative relationship in the industrial chain. This "peak gathering" of the upstream and downstream of the infrastructure industry chain has further expanded and discussed the topic of cross-industry chain cooperation.
