The 12th Summer Davos Forum will kick off later on Tuesday in Tianjin. The theme of this year's meeting is "Shaping Innovative Societies in the Fourth Industrial Revolution".
More than 2,000 politicians, businesspeople, scholars and media representatives from about 90 countries are expected to attend.
Established by the World Economic Forum in 2007, the Summer Davos Forum is an annual event in China, alternating between the two port cities-Tianjin and Dalian.
To give us a run down on the topics that will be discussed during this year's Summer Davos, the Beijing Hour's Shane Bigham spoke earlier with CRI's reporter Li Yi, who is at the forum in Tianjin.
