The grand event kicks off, drawing a zero carbon blueprint together

On March 1, 2025, a grand event was held at the Beijing New Power Financial Technology Center to discuss the trends, challenges, and responses of carbon neutrality industry development, as well as the annual meeting of the 50 person forum on carbon neutrality for multinational corporations. The forum's annual meeting is themed "Zero Carbon Leading the Way, Spirit Snakes Offering End - Trends and Innovations in Carbon Neutral Development".

Nearly a hundred executives from multinational corporations, as well as experts and scholars from organizations such as the China Association of Foreign Investment Enterprises, the China Association for Asian Economic Development, Tsinghua University, local government representatives, and private enterprise leaders, gathered together to discuss carbon neutral development paths and innovative practices. The conference is hosted by the Global Carbon Neutrality 50 Forum, guided by the China Association of Foreign Investment Enterprises, in cooperation with the New Power Financial Technology Center and the China Asia Economic Development Association, and supported by Suzhou Xibeiyou Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. and North Star Advanced Recycling Technology (Qingdao) Co., Ltd.

The forum was chaired by Che Wei, Executive Director of the Global Carbon Neutrality 50 Forum. Cao Hongying, Executive Vice President of the China Association of Foreign Investment Enterprises, and Song Jingwu, Executive Vice President of the China European Union Association, expressed their support and recognition for the forum. Lu Yuebing, Chairman of the Global Carbon Neutrality 50 Forum, introduced the forum's development history and long-term goals for the future.

Zhu Yunlai, visiting professor of management practice at Tsinghua University, discusses China's electricity costs and carbon reduction methods in the new energy market through economic models and data, and considers the direction of future new energy electricity construction.

Dai Beijie, the head of the Research Management Department at Beijing Zhongguancun College/Zhongguancun AI Research Institute, brought the latest developments, trends, and applications of artificial intelligence. She discussed the pain points, technological breakthroughs, and ecological reconstruction of scenarios in the era of general artificial intelligence and technology inclusiveness, and exchanged ideas on the integration and development of artificial intelligence applications in collaborative large, medium, and small enterprises, as well as the industry ecology of upstream and downstream collaborative innovation in the industrial chain; Secretary General Xu Zhonghua introduced the work achievements and plans of the forum, and announced that the conference will achieve carbon neutrality.

Wisdom gathers eight parties to discuss the way to break through the deadlock

The forum held a roundtable dialogue session, which sparked in-depth discussions on three major topics: "low-carbon transformation", "endogenous innovation", and "breaking through barriers and going global". At the brainstorming forum, guests shared their views and engaged in lively exchanges on energy development, artificial intelligence development, green going global, and circular industries.

In the roundtable dialogue on "Breaking the deadlock: Going global", Dr. Zhang Tao, Chairman and General Manager of North Star, shared insights on the global layout of emerging industry recycling based on corporate practice. Enterprises should export validated circular economy solutions and promote the establishment of international green industry chain standards for green going global.

Benchmarking, Leading, Demonstrating, and Innovative Practices

The forum has specially established the MNC50 Global Village Award and Penguin Award to recognize enterprises, institutions, and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to addressing climate change and promoting green transformation. Beichen Advanced Recycling Technology (Qingdao) Co., Ltd. and Siemens AG from Germany have won the MNC50 Global Village Award - Sino Foreign Enterprise Cooperation Award at the forum. The strategic cooperation signed by the two parties in February 2025 marks an important step forward in promoting sustainable development of the circular economy through cooperation between Chinese and foreign enterprises. This honor is not only a recognition of technology going global, but also an expectation for Chinese companies to fulfill their global climate responsibility.

North Star relies on the benchmark factory for green, low-carbon, and digital recycling of retired power batteries to explore the construction plan of a digital battery recycling system. At the same time, North Star, as an innovative and entrepreneurial company, will complement the advantages of multinational enterprise Siemens and become an important reference for collaborative innovation. Green development is the foundation of high-quality development, and the innovation of green technology and the application of advanced green technologies will be the key to implementing the dual carbon action and achieving the dual carbon goals. North Star drives the market with innovation and is committed to transforming cutting-edge industry technologies into green and high-quality productivity, keeping circular technology up with the times.

The Multinational Carbon Neutrality 50 Forum is an international exchange platform focused on the field of carbon neutrality. After nearly four years of growth since its establishment, it has now developed into a group with more than 10 specialized committees, mainly composed of foreign enterprise executives. The forum actively promotes cooperation between enterprises, governments, and academia, disseminates and introduces leading technology solutions and best practices from multinational corporations, and continues to deepen exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and foreign enterprises, striving to become an important bridge connecting domestic and foreign resources, a key hub for integrating domestic and foreign resources, and a first-class think tank for global sustainable development.
