The 2024 GEDC Industry Forum took place at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in Shenzhen this January. Gathering over 100 industry and university representatives from 16 countries, the event focussed on developing socially conscious engineering innovators, experts and leaders and explored 4 key themes: Skills & Talent, Educational Transformation, Discover & Innovation and Societal Impact. It was preceded by an interactive sustainability & innovation student challenge and Asian Deans workshop where AI was a key focus. We are extremely grateful to the companies and organisations whose generous support enabled the 2024 event to take place.
