This was a major global event focused on future industries and another profound testament to China-France friendship in the field of technological innovation.

In late November 2025, the Sino-French Future Industry Cooperation Forum came to a successful close in the beautiful ancient capital of Nanjing. Centered on the core themes of “technological innovation, green transformation, and digital empowerment”, the forum brought together government officials, leading scientists, industry leaders, and investment experts from China and France. During several days of exchanges, guests engaged in in-depth discussions on cutting-edge fields such as AI, biomedicine, advanced manufacturing, and green energy, injecting strong momentum into building a more resilient and dynamic China-France economic partnership.

These extensive dialogues in cutting-edge fields relied on precise language translation. As the exclusive language service provider for this forum, we were deeply involved in the entire process, from agenda preparation to on-site exchanges. For disciplines with high thresholds such as AI and biomedicine, we assigned a team of senior experts to ensure that every strategic consensus could overcome language barriers and be executed accurately.

I. Strategic Focus: Unlocking the “New Code” of Future Industries

The successful holding of this forum vividly demonstrated the forward-looking partnership between China and France in jointly addressing global challenges. Amid profound changes in the global economic landscape, both sides reached a consensus that only through “innovation” and “cooperation” can they seize the commanding heights of future industries.

At the Sub-Forum on Digital Economy and Artificial Intelligence, experts from both sides engaged in candid and productive exchanges on data security, AI ethics, and digital infrastructure development. Multiple letters of intent for cooperation on collaborative AI research and development were signed on the spot, aiming to promote deep complementarity between the two countries’ algorithmic strengths and application scenarios. In the field of green, low-carbon development, the forum focused on new energy vehicles, carbon neutrality technologies, and circular economy types. Several leading Chinese and French companies announced the establishment of joint green technology laboratories, striving to rapidly transform cutting-edge laboratory technologies into industrial achievements that change the world.

In addition, cooperation in high-end manufacturing and aerospace was also a major highlight of this forum. Both sides made an exchange on the stability and optimization of global supply chains, and then emphasized their complementary strengths in precision machinery and new materials, with the aim of jointly exploring third-party markets and achieving a higher level of mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.

II. Gathering Strength in Nanjing: Connecting a Hub of Cooperation and Witnessing Professional Capabilities

This forum was held at the International Youth Convention Hotel Nanjing， attributed to its world-class conference facilities. Besides, Nanjing, as an important scientific, educational, and innovation center in East China, provides an ideal “testing ground” for Sino-French cooperation with its strong industrial foundation and innovative atmosphere. Nanjing has a profound base in biomedicine, new energy, and other fields, perfectly complementing France’s advanced technologies.

It is worth mentioning that, to ensure the accuracy of this cross-border dialogue, the entire forum was equipped with high-level Chinese-French simultaneous interpreters. Within the narrow interpretation booth, interpreters built bridges across language barriers, enabling complex scientific and technological terminology and profound governance philosophies to connect seamlessly in an instant. This professionalism not only reflected the forum’s international standards, but also highlighted the irreplaceable role of interpreters as a bridge in international exchanges. The thoughtful services and efficient coordination platform provided by the Nanjing Municipal People’s Government also gave every participant an opportunity to experience the openness and hospitality of this ancient city.

For this forum, we selected Chinese-French simultaneous interpreters with strong backgrounds in science and engineering. Interpreters demonstrated exceptional professionalism in handling a large number of highly challenging technical terms such as algorithmic advantages and carbon neutrality technologies. We not only provided full technical support for simultaneous interpretation hardware equipment but also ensured “zero-distance” communication between Chinese and French experts with “error-free” translation quality, fully demonstrating our professionalism in language services for international conferences.

III. Fruitful Achievements: From the Collision of Ideas to Practical Action

Behind the signing of multiple milestone memorandums of understanding (MOUs) on cooperation were countless days and nights of meticulous textual refinement by our team. From the meticulous translation of legal provisions to the repeated review and refinement of technical agreements, we have built a solid foundation of trust for the practical cooperation between Chinese and French enterprises through our rigorous translation services. This forum is far more than merely a collision of ideas; it also marks a new starting point for a series of practical collaborations.

During the results announcement session, several milestone MOUs were officially signed. These agreements not only cover the joint development of future technologies but also achieve breakthroughs in deeper areas such as bilateral talent cultivation and the establishment of joint investment funds. This means that cooperation between China and France in future industries is evolving from traditional trade exchanges into forward-looking industrial alliances. The deep integration of chains in technology, talent, and capital will provide enterprises from both countries with core competitiveness in the global market.

[Conclusion: Looking Forward to Meeting Again and Creating a Better Future Together]

No mountain or ocean can distance those who are of one mind. The potential for cooperation between China and France in future industries is limitless. The conclusion of this forum is not an endpoint, but a new beginning for both sides to deepen cooperation. The China-France Solution formed in the forum not only creates a win-win platform for enterprises from both countries, but also contributes to the recovery and sustainable development of the global economy.

We look forward to the continued deepening of China-France cooperation in future industries, as we join forces to build a smarter, greener, and more promising future together.
