French industrial software company Dassault Systemes is looking to strengthen its industrial artificial intelligence ecosystem in China, as the country steps up ongoing efforts to foster new quality productive forces and advance the integration of AI with manufacturing, its chief executive said.
China's dynamic innovation ecosystem has made the country not only a major market, but also a key driver of industrial transformation, Pascal Daloz, chairman and CEO of Dassault Systemes, said in an interview with China Daily.
"We are not in China simply to serve the local market. We are here because China has become one of the places where innovation is moving fastest," Daloz said. "For global companies, being part of this ecosystem is becoming essential to staying competitive over the long term."
Daloz recently embarked on a three-day tour of China covering six cities. He said the visit gave him a close look at how Chinese companies are moving beyond catching up in technology and organizational capabilities, and are increasingly seeking to become global leaders.
