Tech edge heralds more dynamism in Chinese enterprises: Accenture

Chinese enterprises have gradually moved away from a reliance on scale-driven growth toward high-quality growth, mainly driven by increased investment in technological innovation, accelerated global expansion and continued capital input in digitalization, said Samantha Zhu, chairperson of Accenture Greater China.

"China has structural advantages to embed transformative technologies at scale across the economy and infrastructure," Zhu said in an exclusive interview with China Daily, highlighting that for businesses looking to boost their productivity and performance, advanced technologies present an unprecedented opportunity to create value, respond dynamically to changes and build resilience.

She noted that it is clear that China is emerging as "an innovation-driven economy", with its breakthroughs in areas like artificial intelligence, robotics, renewable energy, electric vehicles and biomedicine, showcasing its growing capability in critical technologies that underpin long-term competitiveness.
