As a leading global technology event, London Tech Week 2024 gathered about 45,000 participants from 146 countries and regions, covering innovative pioneers, investment experts, technology giants, and forward-thinking thinkers who use cutting-edge technology to address global challenges. During the event, participants focused on how technology can change business and society around the global technology ecosystem, intelligent applications, and sustainable fields of technological innovation. They led in-depth discussions on innovation, diversity, and transformation, providing a platform for the technology ecosystem to jointly promote change.
On the central stage of the conference, Vincent Zhang elaborated in detail on how Westwell Technology uses AI products and services to optimize the operational processes and efficiency of the logistics industry. He emphasized the important role of technological innovation in promoting the sustainable development of the global logistics industry and showcased the company's specific achievements in achieving green logistics goals.

Globally, ESG is accelerating its integration into the operations and development of domestic and foreign enterprises, becoming a new benchmark for measuring the sustainable development capabilities of enterprises. In the process of going global, Westwell Technology has integrated the ESG concept into its business, and it has already created composite values in efficiency, cost, safety, and carbon reduction for more than 200 clients in 20 countries and regions worldwide.
Vincent Zhang pointed out that based on the pain points and core challenges of the logistics industry, such as labor shortages, high operational costs, and high demand for carbon emission reduction, Westwell Technology combines artificial intelligence with new clean energy solutions to formulate the "Westwell Ainergy" strategy. This strategy provides holistic solutions for seaports, land ports, airports, factories, and other fields. Among them, the Q-Truck, known for "The Wandering Earth 2," is an all-time unmanned new energy commercial vehicle that has been successfully implemented at the UK's largest container terminal.

Vincent Zhang also introduced that Westwell Technology adheres to the vision of humanistic care and sustainable development. Westwell always believes that the development of technology is ultimately for empowering people. Westwell has an unmanned driving test engineer, "Old Wang," who was a container truck driver before joining Westwell's transformation. This is a vivid embodiment of Westwell's win-win choice with individuals: on one hand, it can convert the knowledge and experience of the old driver into the advantages of unmanned driving technology; on the other hand, frontline physical workers can also transform into office workers who perform dispatching and commanding, starting a new career.
Furthermore, representatives of Westwell Technology participated in the "Different Roles and Future Development of Sino-British Innovation and Technology Cooperation" roundtable forum session led by the China Technology Advocacy Group on the afternoon of the 11th. They discussed opportunities and challenges in Shanghai, Hong Kong, London, and broader areas with leading figures from the Chinese and British innovation and technology fields. With the rapid growth of Chinese technology enterprises, the international market's attention and recognition of Chinese innovative technology are increasing. The successful appearance of Westwell Technology not only showcased the strength of Chinese technology but also provided new perspectives and momentum for the global technology development trend.
