With the rapid advancement of generative AI, the semiconductor industry, and AI data centers, the world is entering a new wave of industrial transformation that is redefining urban competitiveness. In the future, cities will compete not only for talent, transportation infrastructure, and land resources, but also for power capacity, computing power, and digital connectivity. A reliable and sufficient energy supply, robust digital infrastructure, and high-performance computing platforms will become the key factors in attracting investment and driving sustainable urban development.

The rapid expansion of AI data centers is creating unprecedented electricity demand while posing new challenges to power grid resilience, telecommunications networks, and urban planning. Against the backdrop of climate change, the global energy transition, and the restructuring of international supply chains, strengthening power infrastructure, enhancing digital resilience, and adopting forward-looking industrial strategies and urban governance have become essential to building cities that are secure, sustainable, resilient, and globally competitive.

This forum will bring together leaders from government, the energy sector, cloud service providers, and the telecommunications industry to explore strategies for power resilience, AI computing infrastructure, and smart urban governance in the AI era. Through cross-sector dialogue and knowledge sharing, participants will jointly envision the next generation of resilient and competitive cities.
