Ant Group’s record-breaking IPO in A+H shares stock markets and its sudden suspension was the hottest issue in the past few weeks in global financial markets. More than three months ago, when this historical IPO was announced, the deafening "voice of freedom and wealth" was heard throughout Hangzhou. On November 3rd, Chinese securities regulators abruptly called a halt and gave tens of thousands of shareholders involved in the IPO a blow and a shout.  The sensational news had even overwhelmed the raging US presidential election across the ocean.

​Innovation's Crouching Tiger shows us that the STAR Market can be used as a tool to see which industries are popular at any given moment. The STAR Market, a subsidiary of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, aims to become high-tech industries' first choice when applying to boards to be publicly traded.

On October 30th, 2020, Dr. Jili Chung, the author of Innovation’s Crouching Tiger and the founder of SpringIP Group, gave a talk on “AI Use-Case in the Upgrading and Transformation of Small-to-Medium-Sized Enterprises’– Secrets Revealed and Lessons Learned from Leading Companies Using Innovation to Increase Profitability” at the Digital Engine AI+, Cross-border Integration Summit Forum, hosted by BRICE Valley Entrepreneur Elite (International) Club.  The heat of the topic and prominence of the summit attracted news coverage by International Channel Shanghai (ICS) and other influential media outlets.

In the coming weeks, the heat from the US presidential election is reaching its peak.  The increasing tension is not only drawing the attention from US citizens but also global business leaders.  The reason is clear — the US’s policy changes towards foreign affairs could affect global supply chains and international trade, in many aspects.  One aspect in particular is in innovation and high-tech domains (such as AI, 5G, digital currency, and IC industries). How the US-China trade war evolves is likely to impact the formation of collaboration in technology between global allies.

This coming October 30th, as organized by the Brice Valley Entrepreneur Elite (International) Club ，co-organized by Shanghai International Automobile City Shimao Industry Co., Ltd. and sponsored by Anting Town People's Government, Jiading District, Shanghai, Shanghai Jiading Economic Commission and Jiading District industrial Investment Promotion Service Center, industry leaders are having dialogue in a summit for "Digital Engine AI+, Cross-border Integration" to explore the contemporary issue of how AI is taking root in various fields on new economics and how traditional enterprises are actively exploring the use of AI to promote industry transformation and upgrading.
