Every day in China there are dozens of tech events, but few of them are able to capitalize on such an inspiring mix of world famous entrepreneurs, scientists, artists and scholars from more than 20 different countries as the Global Innovator Conference (GIC), which took place in Shenzhen from the 8th of September until the 10th.
在中国每天都有数十场科技活动在进行,
Shenzhen is the heartland of innovation in China. It is a special place where technology has become a way of life and where startups can easily develop and expand. This has all started in May 1980 when Shenzhen, at the time a fishermen village of no more than 30,000 inhabitants, became China’s first special economic zone. Since then, the city has developed at great speed into one of the most dynamic tech clusters of China, hosting today more than 11 million people and attracting some of the country’s top tech talents.
深圳是中国的创新中心。 科技已经成为深圳的一种生活方式,

Shenzhen owes its meteoric rise to an open innovation culture and the warm reception of immigrants. The local government is betting very high on attracting top talents and tech companies from overseas. The city has developed the Shenzhen Bay Tech and Ecology Park, a building area of 1.88 million sqm in the Southern district of Shenzhen High Tech Zone, designed to serve as HQs or R&D base for high-tech companies, an incubator for innovative small and mid-sized enterprises and a national low carbon ecology demonstration park.
深圳的迅速崛起归功于其开放创新的文化和对外来移民的高接纳度。
It is therefore not fortuitous that the GIC, a China-based top brand for scientific, technological and cultural events, chose Shenzhen as the venture for its 2017 innovation conference. The Shenzhen conference was organized in partnership with some of the major technological players from around the world and China like Google, Baidu and Ofo.

滴滴出行首席发展官李建华在全球创新者大会上发言
The prospect of a futuristic world of driverless transportation was brought up also by Mr. James Li Jianhua, who is the Chief Development Officer of Didi Chuxing, the world’s largest ride-sharing company. He argued that China possesses huge opportunities for development. The cities are big, densely populated, and they have good infrastructure. This enhances the possibilities of the sharing economy. In the future, Didi’s model will encourage people to share cars instead of buying their own. Furthermore, he talked about Didi’s worldwide expansion with a recent investment in Taxify, an Estonian company, and partnerships in Russia and South-East Asia.

蚂蚁金服人工智能部资深技术专家李晓龙在全球创新者大会上发言
All these companies are collecting daily a huge amount of data. According to Mr.Li Xiaolong, Senior Director of AI at Ant Financial, big data have the power to sustain brand new business models. He went on to explain how Ant Financial, the financial arm of Alibaba group, is using artificial intelligence and image recognition to revolutionize the insurance business. The idea is that, if you are involved in a car accident, you would not need to wait for the claim adjuster to come, but could simply take a photo with your smartphone and send it to the insurer. The rest would be done by AI, which would assess the damage and cost of repair and list nearby repair shops and relative pricing.
所有这些公司每天都在收集大量数据。 据蚂蚁金服资深总监李晓龙介绍,

On September 9th, GIC 2017 was wrapped up by the “Future Maker Awards Ceremony”. Ten tech companies from the whole world made it to the final list with their incredible technologies and breakthroughs in robotics, artificial intelligence, fin-tech and food technology. Ms. Ma Li, Chairwoman of China Internet Development Fund (CIDF), inaugurated the award ceremony.

Among the remarkable finalists, Shenzhen QYsea Technology was recognized for its breakthrough technology in marine exploration. The company’s flagship underwater robot, FiFish, even won the CES 2017 innovation award in Las Vegas.
在决赛入围者中,
US-based Impact Vision was selected for its newly developed software for food safety, that uses image recognition and predictive learning to monitor the quality and characteristics of different foods.
总部设在美国的“Impact Vision”以其为食品安全开发的新软件入选,
Russian industrial designer Evgeny Arinin was acknowledged for a new traffic lights that can talk to each other as well as with autonomous vehicles.
俄罗斯工业设计师Evgeny Arinin则以其设计的能与汽车交互的交通信号灯获奖,
Finally, Beijing-based Ben Ge Ge was awarded for its smart recycling platform, that connects over 30 waste collecting stations across the city to an Internet platform, which records the sources of waste and send the orders to the waste collectors.
北京笨哥哥也是未来使者获奖者之一,
These were all brilliant examples of how digital technologies will improve our daily lives. Even more far-reaching results could be achieved as more Chinese home-grown technologies, from small players like Ben Ge Ge to tech stars like Didi, export their innovations to the rest of the world, and as more foreign innovations like Impact Vision and Evgeny Arinin immigrate to China. This is the vision of ChinaEU, to encourage more European tech entrepreneurs to tap into the China market opportunity and facilitate the spillovers of Chinese companies working with their European counterparts for the building of a 5G-enabled future.
这些都是数字科技改善我们日常生活的极好的范例。
