PARIS, July 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On July 25 (French time), BOE signed a
three-year partnership agreement under the umbrella of the
International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development
2024–2033 (hereinafter referred to as "the Science Decade")
with the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) in its headquarters in Paris, France. BOE is the first Chinese tech
company to support the Science Decade. According to the agreement,
BOE will support in delivering the objectives of the Science Decade
with its technology innovations and will develop in-depth
cooperation with UNESCO in the areas of "science popularization and
education" and "digital innovation" to contribute together to
global sustainable development. At the signing ceremony,
Lidia Arthur Brito, UNESCO Assistant
Director-General for Natural Sciences, and Si Da, Vice President
and Chief Branding Officer of BOE, delivered speeches on behalf of
each party and signed the agreement. Wang
Ying, Chargé d'Affaires, Deputy Permanent Delegate of
China to UNESCO, also attended the
ceremony and expressed congratulations to both parties for the
cooperation. Made possible under the coordination of the Chinese
National Commission for UNESCO, the signing of this agreement
underlines the common vision of both parties on promoting
sustainable development through science and technology, and also
highlights the sense of responsibility and mission of Chinese tech
companies represented by BOE in "promoting global sustainable
development with cutting-edge technological strength".
In August 2023, the United Nations
General Assembly adopted the resolution on the Science Decade and
invited UNESCO to take the lead in its implementation, emphasizing
the importance of science for sustainable development, the benefits
of scientific development and science culture, and the primacy of
science in leading sustainable economic, social, and environmental
development. In her speech, Lidia Arthur
Brito, UNESCO Assistant Director-General for Natural
Sciences, noted that. BOE Technology brings forth its innovative
capabilities in science education and digital technology, which are
essential for advancing our objectives. Our collaboration is set to
enhance the hardware for science education, particularly in
selected African countries. This synergy aims to improve the
effectiveness of teaching and learning both inside and outside the
classroom, thereby enhancing global science literacy. On the
ceremony, Chargé d'Affaires, Deputy Permanent Delegate of
China to UNESCO, Mr. Ying Wang also delivered speech. He noted that
China has been actively supporting
the Natural Science Sectors of UNESCO to build capacity in science
and to mobilize scientific knowledge to address complex global
challenges. He is pleased to see that, through the coordination of
the Chinese National Commission for UNESCO, BOE joins hands with
UNESCO and becomes the first Chinese company to support the Decade.
The Chinese government will provide all the necessary support for
this cooperation, which will greatly contribute to the enhancement
of global science literacy and digital innovation, thus truly
advancing science as global public good.
Under the partnership agreement and under the umbrella of the
Science Decade, BOE will collaborate with UNESCO on projects in the
fields of science education and digital technology: in terms of
science popularization and education, the two parties are committed
to jointly upgrading infrastructures and educational promotion of
science education, especially in some selected African countries.
To match the courseware provided by UNESCO, BOE will offer smart
education hardware to enhance the effectiveness of teaching and
learning both inside and outside the classroom with the use of
digital technology, and enhance the interactivity of science
popularization and learning, in order to improve global science
literacy and facilitate the realization of the vision of IDSSD with
the power of science and technology. With regard to digital
innovation, UNESCO will leverage BOE's digital innovations and
solutions to popularize digital technology in the target regions,
enhance creativity and innovation, and contribute to global
sustainable development.
At the signing ceremony, Si Da, Vice President and Chief
Branding Officer of BOE, noted that as a global leading innovator
of the Internet of Things (IoT), BOE has been committed to
benefiting the people with science and respecting for the
harmonious development of man and nature since its inception.
Guided by its "Empower IoT with Display" strategy, BOE has been
following the "technology+green" development concept, which is
highly consistent with the IDSSD vision, i.e., utilizing global
scientific power to collectively build a sustainable future. That
is also an important reason behind this partnership. Given the
multiple challenges faced in the efforts of empowering sustainable
development with science and technology, BOE is ready to join hands
with the UNESCO to empower the implementation of the IDSSD through
innovative technology and strengthen science and knowledge sharing
through a series of projects that promote scientific and
technological innovations and advancement, thus enhancing global
science education for human well-being. The signing represents
another major initiative of BOE in pursuing its global strategy and
fulfilling its sustainable development concept, and also marks
another global milestone in promoting scientific and technological
innovation and cooperation and exchange.
In terms of pursuing sustainable development, BOE has been
following the concepts of "Green+, Innovation+, and Community+" and
working with global partners to build an innovation ecosystem
"Powered by BOE" for greater industrial value. Especially, in terms
of "Innovation+", BOE has been committed to "respect for technology
and persistence in innovation", continuously introducing innovation
resources and improving its innovation incentive mechanism to
upgrade its innovation capability. Meanwhile, BOE invests about 7%
of its annual operating revenue in research and development. By the
end of 2023, BOE has applied for more than 90,000 independent
patents and gained more than 5,000 global partners. In addition,
BOE has proposed the creative "Empower IoT with Display" strategy,
seeking to drive the continuous integration of display technology,
IoT technology and digital technology, and empower the digitization
process of all industries worldwide through its constant technology
iterations and innovations. As a global tech company, BOE has
offices in more than 20 countries and regions globally. Especially,
as Chinese companies are expanding overseas at a faster pace in
recent years, BOE has initiated a new model of overseas operation
for Chinese tech firms in the fields of science and technology,
sports, and culture through an enterprising strategic layout of
globalization. Recently, as a chief strategic partner of China
National Fencing Team, BOE has assisted the team in its mission to
Paris, using innovative technology
to accelerate the sports industry towards a new era of technology
and intelligence. In early July, BOE's annual signature brand
marketing campaign "Hello BOE" made its debut in Paris, France, which featured a perfect fusion
of innovative technology and traditional culture, empowering the
"Reviving Craft: Chinese Handicrafts and Contemporary Design" event
and showcasing the unique charm of Chinese culture and the
innovation vitality of Chinese science and technology to the
world.
Scientific and technological innovation has become a mighty
driving force for Chinese companies, Chinese products, Chinese
creations, and Chinese culture to go global. Innovative
technological products, such as new display technologies and
digital technologies, are bringing huge opportunities for Chinese
tech companies and the global economy in the digital era. As an
industrial leader, BOE will continue to follow a market-oriented,
international, and specialized development path, embrace the
"technology+brand" dual value-driven model, and expand its global
influence at a faster pace with cutting-edge technologies and a
forward-looking market layout. It will fulfill its corporate social
responsibilities with practical actions, drive global sustainable
development, and contribute its wisdom and strength as a Chinese
tech firm to human development.
