A1 Emerson is glad to embrace the CIIE again as an "old friend".Upholding our confidence and commitment to the Chinese economy, Emerson values the importance of the CIIE, where we can showcase our advanced technologies, innovative solutions and expertise. We are making our fifth consecutive appearance, which consistently helps nourish our deep ties with the Chinese market.

At this year's CIIE, with the theme of Together for A Net-Zero Future, we present our latest technologies, services and sustainable solutions in the field of new energy, energy efficiency and environmental management. We are eager to help China-based enterprises achieve industry benchmarks. We want to continue leveraging this platform to grasp the latest market trends in China and strengthen partnerships with our customers, suppliers and partners.

A2 The CIIE demonstrates the resilience and vitality of the Chinese economy, as well as the deep accumulation and profound strength of the country's market.

The expo is also becoming a solid force to advance the recovery and sustained growth of the global economy. As a higher-level and more professional event joined by world-renowned exhibitors, we believe the fifth CIIE has a more substantial spillover effect and provides shared opportunities in China's growing economy for global participants.

A3 The country's tremendous market and resilient economy have made it a major driving force for global economic growth, while it is also an important driver in promoting sustainable development worldwide. Based on its carbon peak and neutrality targets, the country is making every effort to help the planet go green.

A4 In China, manufacturing is the country's foundation and plays a crucial role in its power and prestige. Besides enabling continual and steady growth, the country's manufacturing is devoted to achieving high-quality development by advancing digitalization and intelligent transformation. Innovation and key technologies are becoming the core drivers of the sector.

A5 China's opening-up is a critical contributor to a closer connection between the country and the world and higher economic growth for all. With a more open and fair environment, foreign companies will help China actively and deeply integrate into international trade, promoting a more open and prosperous global economy.

Adhering to our regional development strategy of "In China, for China", Emerson will continue to leverage important platforms, such as the CIIE, to seize the huge market opportunities and expand our strategic positioning, further boosting the country's high standards in opening-up with our innovative solutions and persistent efforts.
