Hillhouse Investment founder Zhang Lei pointed to the necessity of deploying forward-deployed engineers who understand both artificial intelligence and industrial applications. Meanwhile, Intuitive Surgical executive chair Gary S. Guthart noted that combining high-quality medical data with robotics creates new operational frontiers, provided secure data sharing frameworks are successfully piloted.

Insights shared by L'Oreal Group chairman Jean-Paul Agon regarding online and offline shopping convergence demonstrate how data-driven consumer personalization remains a focal point for international brands operating within the region.
