Multinational firm execs laud Xi's keynote remarks at 4th CIIE (I)

Samantha Zhu, chair of Accenture (Greater) China:

Chinese industries and enterprises are deepening transformation towards low-carbon, high-quality growth as China orchestrates new development. In his opening speech at the CIIE, President Xi Jinping pointed out China will actively lead the discussions in fields like digital economy and low-carbon. We believe enterprises must firmly accelerate digital transformation alongside sustainability efforts to stay competitive and viable, and to empower China economy's high-quality growth.

At the beginning of China's 14th Five-Year Plan period, we are delighted to participate in the CIIE for the second time. China is a key strategic market for Accenture. China has been constantly embracing opening-up at a higher level and improving the business environment. Amid the profound and prolonged impacts of change and disruption, Accenture, together with Chinese companies, will continue to deploy the innovative digital capabilities, deep cross-industry expertise and broad ecosystem partnership to deliver on the promise of technology and human ingenuity and pursue development in more sustainable ways.
