XIAMEN, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- A workshop to promote international collaboration in emerging technologies opened Wednesday in Xiamen, east China's Fujian Province.
The 2023 BRICS Excellence Training Workshop on New Industrial Revolution Technology and Governance drew government officials, experts, and entrepreneurs from 22 countries, with courses covering the digital economy, artificial intelligence, digital security, and emerging technologies.
During the 28-day workshop, lectures, seminars, and on-site visits to companies in major Chinese cities will be held to strengthen cooperation between BRICS countries, emerging markets, and developing countries so that emerging digital technologies can benefit people of all countries and provide new momentum for South-South cooperation.
