On June 13, the UNIDO Theme Day of the 10th China (Shanghai) International Technology Fair (CSITF) was held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center. The event gathered over 300 guests, including representatives from enterprises, universities, and experts and scholars from various industries. The event was hosted by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and co-hosted by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the Finance Center for South-South Cooperation, and the World Union of Small and Medium Enterprises (WUSME). It was organized by the UNIDO Investment and Technology Promotion Office Shanghai (ITPO Shanghai) and other partners.

As a key international organization supporting CSITF, UNIDO is marking the tenth anniversary of its partnership with the fair in jointly promoting technological innovation to advance sustainable development. This year’s theme, “Green STI STIRS UP NEW QUALITY Productive Forces,” closely aligns with CSITF’s overarching theme: “Digital Economy Connects the New Era; Green Technology Drives the New Future”. The event aimed to explore pathways for translating green technological innovations into practical applications that empower sustainable development.

As an official supplier to the United Nations and a member of the UN Global Compact, Grouphorse Group has been deeply engaged in ESG and sustainable development for many years. Zhang Li, Vice President of Grouphorse Group, and Jiang Feng, Deputy General Manager of Shanghai Grouphorse Translation Co., Ltd., were invited to attend this year’s forum. Their participation reflected Grouphorse Group’s strong commitment to ESG values and its support for intellectual property protection and sustainability in action.

During the event, Zhao Xiaolei, Director of UNIDO ITPO Shanghai; Hu Hao, Standing Committee Member of the CPC Committee and Director of the Publicity Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University; and Zhang Xiping, President of the Shanghai Industrial Internet Association, jointly launched the 3rd Campaign of Carbon-Neutral Technology & Solutions. The initiative focuses on collecting innovative carbon neutrality solutions and recommending outstanding Chinese projects to UNIDO’s global platform, helping Chinese enterprises step onto the international stage and engage in global cooperation. The goal is to leverage scientific and technological innovation to support and lead the achievement of China’s “dual carbon” goals, while driving breakthroughs in cutting-edge, disruptive, and critical core technologies.

Grouphorse has maintained a close relationship with UNIDO for many years. Since the first Chinese Written Translation Contest organized by Grouphorse in 2020, the event has received official guidance and support from UNIDO. It also became the first translation competition in China to be officially supported by a United Nations agency.

As a proud participant in this international gathering, Grouphorse Group recognizes the great responsibility it carries. We will continue to cultivate the ESG and sustainable development fields, actively respond to global sustainable development initiatives, and work hand-in-hand with partners from all sectors to build a more prosperous, greener, and harmonious future.
