In 2000, American academic magazine “Engineering”, an authority of engineering, science, and technology publications, named 125 contemporary and modern scientists, including Edison, who made the most outstanding contributions to human progress. And Dr. Tung, a prominent bridge designer, was one of the 125 recognized. Dr. Tung will deliver a speech entitled About Innovation. Professor T.P.

He will report to us on the breakthrough projects in China’s semiconductor industry.
Dr. Ruggero Santilli will present his breakthrough in intermediate controlled nuclear fusion without radiation. If the technology succeeds, it will ultimately solve the energy shortage problem.
• Win-Win Opportunities
Leading investment bank executives, private equity managers and venture capitalists from both countries will attend for networking and explore investment objectives and business partnerships. Dr. Fengbo Zhang, SVP of Citigroup, will discuss investment opportunities and strategies within the U.S. with Chinese corporate executives to develop a cooperative relationship.

Participants will include over 30 important entrepreneurs and corporate executives from China to discuss opportunities and strategies of expanding business in the US, such as going public in the US.
The United States and China are two of the world’s largest economic powers.

These strengths are complementary, and the development of innovation and cooperation between these two countries will generate immense economic returns for the world; pursued bilateral development will create a solid path towards fast economic recovery.
