Zhisland, a networking platform for Chinese entrepreneurs, announced on Aug 8 that the Zhisland Global Innovation Conference 2017 will take place in Shenyang, Liaoning province, on Sept 12 and 13.

Themed “Hello, Human”, the conference will focus on artificial intelligence (AI), heralding a new round of industrial revolution powered by scientific progress.

Over 5,000 entrepreneurs and investors from across the world will take part in the conference, exhibiting their current achievements in science and technology, as well as business models at the event.

Having been held before in other Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao, Chongqing and Guizhou, the conference comes to Shenyang this year, an economic powerhouse in northeastern China, for good reasons.

“Shenyang is a great place with rich natural and human resources,” said Li Songlin, an official of the Shenyang municipal government. “With a strong industrial base, Shenyang is the ideal place for entrepreneurs across the world to come and invest.”

Liu Huadong, founder of Zhisland, noted that the Zhisland Global Innovation Conference 2017 in Shenyang aims to bring global innovation to Shenyang and connect local enterprises with the other parts of the world.
