AMNC26: What just happened at the Summer Davos?

The Chinese port city of Dalian just hosted the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions - AMNC26 - often known as the Summer Davos. Innovating at scale was the official theme, and we heard lots on that - but also geopolitics, not least the rivalry between China and the US. On this episode we get a flavour of the discussions and hear from the people at the World Economic Forum who are working on the big issues throughout the year.
