中国新生代领袖群体正以独特的“全球教育-本土根基-使命驱动”三维特质，重新定义可持续发展时代的领导力范式。他们既深谙东方智慧，又精通西方创新，正在科技、社会企业与文化领域塑造着全新的中国图景。本环节聚焦正塑造中国科技、社会企业与文化版图的青年企业家、创作者与变革者。他们回到中国，带来的不仅是技能与资本，更是关于身份认同、协作模式以及商业社会价值的新叙事。我们将共同探讨：这代人如何搭建文明互鉴之桥，重构系统韧性，并诠释中国对全球未来的独特贡献。

China’s next generation of leaders are educated globally, rooted locally, and driven by purpose. Fluent in both Eastern heritage and Western innovation, they are redefining what leadership looks like in an era of sustainability, authenticity, and cross-cultural integration. This session spotlights young entrepreneurs, creators, and changemakers who are shaping China’s tech, social enterprise, and cultural landscapes. Their return to China brings not just skills and capital, but fresh narratives around identity, collaboration, and the role of business in societal transformation. It’s an invitation to imagine how this generation can bridge worlds, regenerate systems, and help define China’s contribution to the global future.

粤港澳大湾区不仅是一个经济引擎，更是一个充满活力的创新实验室——在这里，制度创新、商业转型与东西方融合正在发生深刻的化学反应。香港作为“超级联系人”（连接全球资本与内地市场）和“超级增值人”（提升 ESG 标准、金融科技与治理水平）的双重角色，正加速催生一种全新的发展范式。通过汇聚香港、澳门和广东九市的经济发展动能，粤港澳大湾区正在开创一种兼具经济活力与可持续价值的发展新模式。在这片热土上，金融中心的国际视野与制造业基地的产业优势相互赋能，传统岭南文化与现代创新精神交相辉映，正在为全球城市群可持续发展提供“中国方案”。本环节将探讨中小企业、家族企业与新生代领导者如何通过 ESG 融合、跨境合作与数字化转型，与中国的“一带一路”战略相契合——共同创造超越利润的价值。这将是一场探讨如何以大湾区为蓝本，推动区域合作，在全球性挑战面前促进创新、包容与韧性的对话。

The Greater Bay Area (GBA) is more than a commercial engine—it is a living laboratory for systems innovation, business regeneration, and East–West integration, where Hong Kong’s unique position as a Super Connector (bridging global capital and mainland markets) and Super Value-adder (elevating ESG standards, fintech, and governance) accelerates a new development paradigm. Bringing together the economic strength of Hong Kong, Macau, and nine dynamic Guangdong cities, the GBA is positioned to pioneer a development model that blends economic vitality with sustainable values. This panel explores how SMEs, family enterprises, and next-generation leaders are leveraging ESG integration, cross-border collaboration, and digital transformation to align with China’s Belt & Road Initiative—creating value that extends far beyond profit. It is a conversation on how the GBA can serve as a blueprint for regional cooperation that fosters innovation, inclusivity, and resilience in the face of global challenges.

本场收官对话将当日的核心主题——文化、资本与文明——凝聚成一个面向未来的共同繁荣愿景。随着中国加深“一带一路”参与，并在全球气候与发展平台上发挥更大作用，问题已不再是“中国是否会塑造未来”，而是“中国将如何塑造未来”。本环节将探讨中国如何与世界共同引领一场从消耗到再生、从分裂到合作的全球性转变——以文明视角为基石，在尊重多样性的同时构建共同基础。这并非用一种模式取代另一种模式，而是协调价值观，探索经济活力与生态治理并行、共同造福人类福祉的路径。

This closing dialogue ties together the day’s core themes—culture, capital, and civilisation—into a forward-looking vision for shared prosperity. As China deepens its Belt & Road engagement and steps up its role in global climate and development platforms, the question is no longer whether it will shape the future, but how. This panel examines how China can co-lead a worldwide shift from extraction to regeneration, from division to cooperation—anchored in a civilisation perspective that honours diversity while building common ground. It’s not about replacing one model with another, but about harmonising values and forging pathways where economic vitality and ecological stewardship advance together, serving the well-being of all.

A Strategic Intelligence Map by the World Economic Forum visualises how interconnected factors shape complex issues – like the Well-being Economy. It links research, expert insights, and real-time data, helping users identify patterns, map stakeholders, and explore opportunities for collaboration to advance human and environmental well-being beyond traditional economic growth measures.

A Well-being Economy focuses on aligning economies and actions with the well-being of people and the planet, prioritising social equity and environmental sustainability over merely boosting economic wealth and output. Whilst Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a conventional metric that measures economic output, it is unable to characterise the social progression or environmental planetary impacts. Therefore, an increase in GDP in certain nations does not automatically mean that health and sustainable ecosystems—where human and environmental well-being flourish—are also improving. The Well-being Economy redirects focus from GDP towards long-term investments in people’s well-being and the health of the planet.
