Storyline: APEC CEO Summit aims to boost innovation, trade [Voice_over] From artificial intelligence to clean energy and digital transformation - this year's APEC CEO Summit is contributing to the future of trade, technology, and sustainability. Economic leaders are exploring how to harness new technologies and build more resilient supply chains. They will also exchange insights on helping small businesses and future generations. Organizers say behind the big ideas are hands-on projects with real-world impact. [Sound_bite] Eduardo Pedrosa, Executive Director, APEC Secretariat: "There are hundreds of projects built on technical issues. For example, how do you increase the productivity of a farm? What can we learn from each other? How do you implement new technologies? How are you using it? And people learn from that and they appreciate it." [Voice_over] The biggest spotlight would be the trade relations between China and the US. Both sides have expressed cautious optimism after months of trade talks. Some businesses say they are confident in overcoming policy barriers. [Sound_bite] Dai Wenyuan, Founder & CEO, 4Paradigm Co., Ltd.: "There's some problems in geopolitics. What we should do is to make better tools, better models, or algorithms. And also better chips. We are doing better. In my opinions we should cooperate." [Stand_up] Huang Fei, Reporter: "Known as a 'museum without walls,' Gyeongju offers a vivid link between past and future. Here, centuries of history intersect with innovation in digital tech, clean energy, and open trade. The path forward is multilateral. And as the APEC's host next year, China aims to promote that vision." [Restrictions : No access Chinese mainland]
