The two-day 2026 BRICS Forum on Partnership on New Industrial Revolution opened on Wednesday in Xiamen, Fujian province, marking the launch of an international cooperation initiative on intelligent manufacturing and a new partnership city network to boost cooperation.
The new manufacturing initiative, jointly launched by the International Coalition of Intelligent Manufacturing and leading companies to drive smart transformation, builds on recent BRICS progress in co-constructing smart factories, sharing digital solutions and aligning technical standards.
Concurrently, the China-initiated "Network of Partner Cities on New Industrial Revolution" was established to enhance urban policy alignment and industrial synergy, featuring a first cohort of 10 cities across five nations.
