on september 6, the 8th china-africa entrepreneurs conference was held in beijing.
"someone once said that logic takes you from point a to point b, but imagination can take you anywhere." at the 8th china-africa entrepreneurs conference held on september 6, the speech of alan majuru, ceo of the zimbabwe trade promotion council, was different from that of other guests. he imagined the scene of combining zimbabwe's traditional industries with chinese technology to provide high-tech services for people's lives.
alan majuru said that the world is discussing some very complex challenges such as renewable energy, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, etc., but he is more inclined to think about how the developing local traditional industries and products can interact with high-tech products and transform into traditional high-profit innovative industries to enable africa to have global influence.
"imagine what an ordinary day will be like in the high-tech world of the future?" alan majuru said, taking china's huawei ai voice assistant xiaoyi as an example, xiaoyi will wake you up at the best time according to the pre-set sleep cycle, and provide a morning self-care process, using zimbabwean jatropha soap for smooth skin, and baobab essential oil known for its moisturizing effect, as well as creams made from organic marula oil. the plants used in these products do not use any pesticides to ensure organic properties. after completing the care, xiaoyi will prepare matching clothes, which are made of biodegradable, antibacterial and uv-resistant zimbabwean linen fabrics. then go to the kitchen, xiaoyi prepares a healthy breakfast, including blueberries from zimbabwe. when going out to work, take a self-driving electric car, and the lithium needed for the battery is mined from zimbabwe, africa's largest lithium reserve country.
“zimbabweans are the most honest people in africa,” alan majuru told the guests, adding that he hoped everyone could visit zimbabwe and truly experience the inspiration that the local market can bring and its potential for future development.
