Focusing on Energy Transition and Industrial Sustainable Development: Sharing Insights
ShanghaiJune 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As one of the global leaders in industrial automation, informatization, and digital transformation, Rockwell Automation (NYSE: ROK) was invited to attend the 17th Annual Meeting of the New Champions (Summer Davos Forum) of the World Economic Forum, held in Dalian from June 23 to 25. This year’s meeting, themed “Scaling Innovation,” explores how to turn innovation into opportunities. Shi An, President of Rockwell Automation (China) Co., Ltd., was invited to participate in a panel discussion on global energy and low-carbon transition trends, sharing insights on digital and intelligent empowerment for industrial transformation and sustainable development practices.
Shi An stated: “Industrial transformation should not be limited to optimizing a single link or a single enterprise. Instead, it should drive collaboration across the entire value chain, from upstream to downstream, moving from local optimization to global optimization. Only by harnessing the strength of cross-industry and cross-domain ecosystem partners, jointly addressing the challenges faced by industry and society, and possessing the ability to continuously create value, can we promote long-term, sustainable development for both enterprises and industries.” This vision is being realized through the Climate Lighthouse initiative, jointly promoted by Rockwell and its ecosystem partners, continuously exploring pathways for industrial collaboration and sustainable development driven by digital and intelligent technologies, and replicating best practices across more industry scenarios.
With the deep deployment of digital and intelligent technologies in global industrial scenarios, the importance of global standards, compliance, and governance is increasingly prominent, becoming a key factor in achieving “global optimization.” In this context, Rockwell, as a leading enterprise in the productive service industry chain, leverages its horizontal integration advantages. By integrating AI capabilities on top of IT/OT (Information Technology/Operational Technology) convergence, it drives enterprises from single-scenario local applications to multi-site, cross-regional, and even cross-value chain and supply chain global collaboration, helping enterprises achieve genuine industrial upgrading in more complex cross-industry and cross-regional scenarios.
