"The CIIE provides an opportunity for Eastern and Western enterprises to come together, showcase their innovation achievements and exchange experiences, and help establish more contacts, which is a good platform. Shen Dali, president of Honeywell's global high-growth region, said in an exclusive interview with reporters recently.
Shen Dali said that Honeywell brought innovative technologies and products covering safety and energy efficiency and other fields at the 2020 CIIE. "We are very supportive of the CIIE because it is an important part of highlighting China's economic momentum. He said.
Honeywell was one of the first multinational companies to participate in the first CIIE, and at the second CIIE in 2019, Honeywell's booth area was tripled compared to 2018. Honeywell has demonstrated a number of innovative technologies in intelligent connectivity, energy conservation, environmental protection and safety protection at the past two CIIE, and signed cooperation agreements with Chinese enterprises involving connected factories, smart buildings, smart medical care, aircraft maintenance, etc., to work with customers to create a better future of connectivity, safety and sustainability.
Shen Dali said that China is a major economy that is currently showing a steady recovery trend. To get the economy on track, "people need to have the confidence to go out and participate in economic activities", and China has "handled it very well" in responding to the epidemic and injecting social confidence.
As one of the U.S.-funded companies entering China, Honeywell has always attached great importance to the Chinese market and is optimistic about its development prospects. Shen Dali said that multinational companies need to pay attention to trends, and their investments, strategic layouts, products and services must reflect the reality of growth, "Our core strategy is to develop dynamically with China and truly become a local Chinese enterprise." ”
Shen Dali believes that China is not only an import or export market, but also an important place for manufacturing and innovation, so we strive to have a place in the Chinese market to better seize the huge opportunities brought by the vitality of China's local market. "As early as 15 or 16 years ago, we realized that China is not only a huge market, but also a dynamic economy, and as a truly global multinational company, we need to fully participate in China's dynamic growth. He said.
In China, Honeywell has long driven growth through innovation, implementing the strategies of "East for East" and "East for the World". At present, Honeywell's four major business groups have settled in China, with more than 50 wholly-owned companies and joint ventures in more than 30 cities in China.
