【CEO Forum | Talk about Interaction
and IntelligentManufacturing,
Discuss the Future Development of the Industry】
OnApril 8, 2018, in a bright spring day in Shanghai, a feast of CEOs in theglobal machine tool industry was staged in Pudong. The magnates from theworld’s industry gathered in the "International CEO Forum of Machine ToolManufacturing Industry 2018", which paved the road for the opening of thewell prepared and widely anticipated China CNC Machine Tool Fair 2018 (CCMT2018).
InternationalCEO Forum of Machine Tool Manufacturing Industry 2018, organized by CMTBA, is aplatform for CEOs in the global machine tool industry. As an importantsupporting activity of CIMT and CCMT, the CEO forum is held on the day before theopening of each CIMT and CCMT. Through the meticulous organization of theorganizer and various cooperation agencies, and the enthusiastic participationof exhibitors and visitors, the CEO Forum has enjoyed a great deal of highreputation and brand awareness in the industry. This forum has attracted moreheads of machine tool associations and well-known enterprises both at home andabroad. Mr. Wu Bailin, the former president of CMTBA, Mr. Wang Xu, chairman ofthe current board of supervisors, chairman of the Beijing No.1 Machine Tool Co.,Ltd, and Mr. Guo Changcheng, the current vice president of CMTBA, Mr. DouglasWood, President of AMT, and Mr. Li Xingbin, general manager of AMT AsiaPacific, are participate in the forum.
Thepresident of CMTBA, Mr. Mao Yufeng, said in a speech at the forum that theforum opened during a new opportunity for the development of the industry. Inthe 19th national congress in 2017, president Xi Jinping put forwardin his report that the construction of a modern economic system must base onthe development of the real economy and improvement on the quality of thesupply system as the main direction to greatly enhance the economic quality ofour country. At the same time, it is pointed out that we should speed up “theconstruction of manufacturing power”, accelerate the development of advancedmanufacturing industry, promote the deep integration of the Internet, big data,artificial intelligence and the real economy, and cultivate new growth pointsand new kinetic energy in the fields of mid and high end consumption,innovation, environment protection and other fields. Mr. Mao Yufeng also saidthat as the sponsor, CMTBA has been promoting the industry development as itsown task since its establishment, serving the industry wholeheartedly for itspurpose, in order to promote the sustainable and healthy development of the industry.with such a mission, this CEO forum makes us meet in the spring in the seasonof planting hope, let us jointly work together to achieve the good vision ofthe development of machine tool industry!
Thisforum is hosted by Mr. Wang Liming, vice president of CMTBA. In the context ofthe development of intelligent manufacturing, Mr. Wang Liming pointed out that,under the driving force of new technology, the manufacturing industry isundergoing profound changes, mainly to the direction of digitalization,networking, human-friendly and environment-friendly development. Thedevelopment direction is the consensus of the major industrial countries. Everycountry set up the development strategy & plan of manufacturing industry.
Thetheme of this forum is the same as the theme of CCMT2018, which is "Focus onDigitalization, Interconnection, Intelligent Manufacturing". It isreported that the forum invited the heads, technical directors, senior experts ofmachine tools of China, the United States, Germany, Japan, Italy and other countries,and CEO from well-known enterprises to make a speech. They expounded theirviews on intelligent manufacturing, digitalization and machine toolinterconnections, and introduced relevant research progress and practicalresults. It also outlines the effective connection between Made in China 2025and the related technology.
Inorder to ensure a strong team of leaders, the organizers also attach greatimportance to the invitation of the visitors in order to achieve good resultsin the forum. The forum has invited more than 150 senior managers and technicalexecutives, user representatives, some experts and scholars, mediarepresentatives to participate in the forum activities, but the actual participationof more than 200 people, so that you cant find an empty seat in the venue, anda lot of seats are added temporarily. Delegates have expressed fruitful resultsand benefited greatly.
