    Despite China's green industries leading the world, the information gap remains striking, Xiao Jie, general manager of New Energy Nexus China, told Yicai during Shanghai Climate Week. What has astonished visitors is not just the policy framework, but the speed of technological iteration, the degree to which firms aligned with policies, and the business logic underpinning the entire transition, Xiao noted.

    It is getting harder to write a neat reflection on Shanghai Climate Week. For us, it is no longer just an event platform. It has become a place we helped build with love, care, and people — and one that has given us back so much trust, hope, and responsibility. This year, together with Shanghai Climate Week, New Energy Nexus China co-curated the “Next Decade” Energy Transition Series. The idea was simple: the energy transition no longer lacks ambition. What the next decade needs is execution — real scenarios, workable business models, patient capital, risk-sharing tools, and trusted partnerships that can turn ideas into systems, and systems into results. Across the week, we hosted and joined 6 sessions, welcomed participants and delegations from 10 countries, engaged 50+ delegation members, and facilitated 10+ business matchmaking meetings and professional exchange sessions. But the numbers are only part of the story. What stayed with me most was the trust being built. International partners came to Shanghai not only to listen, but to see, ask, compare, and understand China’s clean energy development on the ground — how technologies scale, how supply chains work, how companies compete, and how business models are tested under real market pressure. At the same time, Chinese companies are looking outward with equal seriousness. They want to understand overseas markets, global standards, regulatory expectations, financing models, cultural gaps, and what it really takes to make real friends (yes we all need friends!), and step into the local ecosystems. This two-way curiosity matters. Real climate cooperation does not begin with perfect alignment. It begins with the first contact, honest explanation, and the patience to stay in the room long enough to build confidence. For NEX China, this is where our role becomes most meaningful. We work with the people and companies who actually deliver the transition: founders, operators, engineers, investors, corporates, policymakers, and ecosystem builders. Shanghai Climate Week 2026 reminded us that the next decade of energy transition will not be defined by ambition alone. It will be shaped by execution, alignment, and trust — and by the people willing to do the hard, patient, often invisible work of building bridges. That is the work we are here for.❤🌏💪 Leo Horn-Phathanothai Jurei Yada Jasper (Shaojie) Shen Tristan Tremschnig Jack Yuan Yin Yu Fabrizio Buccino Muhammad Basit Ghauri Muhammad Sheraz Aamir LIN SUN Emmanuel DELPLANQUE (洪长森) Libin Song Andrew Chang Zeeshan Ashfaq Xuan Xie Sze Ping LO Danny Kennedy Remoca(Yiran) Shi Laurent Bardon Laurent Arribe Alexandra H.

  • This startup in Bali, Indonesia, is proving that local solutions can reshape how communities power their future. Volto Sea, led by CEO Putu Yindy Kurniawan, is shifting coastal communities away from polluting fossil fuels by converting traditional boats to electric power and deploying charging infrastructure for cleaner marine transport. With support from New Energy Nexus Indonesia through the Matangi Bali program, the startup is building a quieter, lower-emission future for Indonesia’s seas, one boat at a time. Watch their journey in our latest video ⬇️

  • The grid is aging. Extreme weather is getting worse. And demand is rising faster than ever. Replacing infrastructure alone is not a scalable solution. GridWrap, Inc. is taking a different approach by reinforcing existing utility poles with advanced composite materials. The results are stronger infrastructure, faster deployment, and lower costs without disrupting service. ➡️ Watch the full video to see what grid resilience looks like in practice ➡️ https://lnkd.in/g_Sduzff New Energy Nexus California supports GridWrap through the CalSEED program.
