It is structured through five interlocking components: summit forums to build consensus, project roadshow to connect capital and innovation, resource matchmaking to bridge supply and demand, exhibition display to present real-world value, and gala dinner to deepen cross-border cooperation. These will be complemented by the release of the AI Trustworthy Corpus Data Construction White Paper, WFT Think Tank launch, and a technology enterprise awards ceremony.
