Keynotes & messages
Dubai Oasis Authority welcome: China as tech-revolution pioneer; invite firms to Dubai Silicon Valley. UAE Investment Annual Conference China DG Gao Junxuan: Committee founding near 40 years of China–UAE ties; prefer Chinese digital solutions for Arab digital transformation. Wu Wei: Unique Capital all-in AIGC; among earliest China AIGC maps/research houses — AIGC is conviction not a fad; AI 2.0 already daily work/life — “hit what is in front of you.” Yin Muyan: hard-tech investing = investing in scientists (≥10yr depth) + authoritative collective decisions; MidEast/Europe capital networks ready. Liu Xiaojing: true ecosystems are co-built not stacked; 12th UAE Investment Annual — participating firms’ valuation already >$230B across Americas/MENA/Oceania; MidEast intent toward China >$380B; Committee as hub for digital “little giants” → unicorns.
Jiao Shidou — “How enterprises fully embrace the AGI era”: third-time founder; inflection on human–machine and machine–machine relations; don’t flip strategy lightly — focus on underlying logic. Yue Luping — art/world/self in the AI age (assignment from economist Zhu Jiaming): show AIGC works; manifesto and creation together; open-source futurism 2.0.
Roundtable & afternoon demoday
Moderator Wang Chaochao with Dai Chen / Shen Dongliang / Chen Yu / Yin Muyan / Guo Yanni on “AI+ investment opportunities & challenges.” Dai: like early mobile internet — product fit + efficiency take time; invest early for asymmetric upside or pay up for growth; bet on proven people. Shen: excitement → then fear of exponential pace; prefer ToB with data + industry know-how; don’t chase fads. Chen: first paid internet moment wasn’t day one — AI+ opens a ~30yr super-cycle; don’t rush.
