Shenzhen, October 25, 2024 – Driven by the global wave of decarbonization, the 2024 Autonomy Global Decarbonization Expo (Autonomy) CEO Meeting in Paris, France was successfully held at the Shenzhen Han's Laser Global Intelligent Manufacturing Center. The event is not only a grand event for business exchanges, but also an important milestone in the cooperation between China and the EU in the field of new energy. Ross Douglas, CEO of Autonomy Expo in Paris, France, together with important customers such as Aéroports de Paris, Europe's largest airport operator, Poste Group, Europe's largest electric vehicle operator, and Europe's largest renewable energy companies, Engie, EDF and Total Energy, visited the company, aiming to provide a platform for Chinese suppliers of new energy vehicles, photovoltaic energy storage charging piles and lithium batteries to expand into the European market.
The event comes against the backdrop of significant progress in the construction of EV charging infrastructure in France. Since May 2023, the number of EV charging infrastructure installed in France has increased by 61.9% in a year, and the number of public EV charging stations in France is expected to increase significantly by 2030, with an estimated 260,000 new smart charging stations. In addition, large-scale battery energy storage systems are expected to increase more than threefold in France, which has announced an investment of 17 billion euros to build a competitive battery industry.

The exchange meeting was hosted by China Exportsemi, co-sponsored by the Digital Energy Special Committee of China Sensor and Internet of Things Industry Alliance, and undertaken by Yeehai Global Information Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. The conference brought together industry experts and business representatives to discuss global decarbonization trends, technological innovation, market opportunities and other topics. The successful holding of the conference not only deepened the cooperation between China and the EU in the field of new energy, but also provided valuable opportunities for exchanges and cooperation between enterprises of both sides.
During the session, Mr. Ross Douglas detailed the vision and goals of the Autonomy Expo, emphasizing the importance of driving global decarbonization through solar energy, battery storage charging systems, autonomous driving and fleet management technologies. He mentioned that the Autonomy Expo in Paris, France, has brought together more than 300 exhibitors to promote the decarbonization of the commercial and industrial sectors in Europe and around the world. As a major new energy country, China has many excellent new energy companies, and the Autonomy Expo can provide enterprises with the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with the top 5 buyers in France.

In addition, the meeting also touched on many topics such as the integrated solution of optical storage and charging, the business introduction of the design institute, the solution of AC and DC charging piles, and the green and low-carbon clean energy solution. Qian Jiang, Business Director of Guangdong Southern Telecom Planning and Design Institute, Feng Li, General Manager of E-Zonda, Shu Jinbo, Marketing Manager of GanFeng Lithium (Public), and other industry experts conducted in-depth discussions and experience sharing in their respective fields. Mr. Ross Douglas has a better understanding of some companies in China.
It is worth noting that Shu Jinbo, the market manager of Ganfeng Lithium, mentioned in his speech on the green, low-carbon and clean energy plan that Ganfeng Lithium has made efforts to build a green supply chain in the lithium industry, and introduced Ganfeng's sustainable cases such as green mining, low-carbon operation, and the development of circular economy. The practice of Ganfeng Lithium shows that the lithium battery new energy industry should be more sustainable in the production process to ensure the positive development of the industry.
The success of this exchange meeting not only provides a platform for exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and European enterprises in the field of new energy, but also contributes wisdom and strength to the global decarbonization process. Under the new changes in global governance, China-EU clean energy industry cooperation is facing new opportunities and challenges. China and the EU share common interests and aspirations on climate and energy issues, and have promoted the implementation and industrialization of clean energy technologies through various cooperation mechanisms, and established a number of energy cooperation platforms, such as the China-EU Energy Cooperation Conference and the China-EU Energy Dialogue Mechanism.
As the global energy transition continues to deepen, China-EU cooperation will provide a wider range of technical solutions for the global response to climate change and energy transition, and promote the realization of the global carbon neutrality goal. Cooperation between China and the EU in the fields of wind power, photovoltaics, hydrogen energy, energy storage and new energy vehicles will not only help promote the economic development of both sides, but also promote the energy transition to achieve a win-win situation.
Conclusion
The successful holding of the CEO Meeting at the 2024 Global Decarbonization Expo in Paris, France, marks a new level of cooperation between China and the EU in the field of new energy. In the context of global decarbonization, the cooperation between China and the EU will not only help promote their respective energy transitions, but also provide new impetus for global sustainable development. With the deepening of cooperation between the two sides, we have reason to believe that China and the EU will create more business opportunities and possibilities in the field of new energy.
