BRICS Nations Accelerate Industrial Revolution with Landmark Xiamen Forum Outcomes
XIAMEN, CHINA – In a significant move signaling a strengthened commitment to collaborative growth, the 2025 BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership Forum concluded in Xiamen today, delivering a robust package of 12 key results. This comes as the BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership Innovation Base celebrates its fifth anniversary, marking a period of substantial progress in policy alignment, talent development, and project implementation. This is urgent breaking news for anyone following global economic shifts and the rise of the BRICS economic bloc.
Boosting Global AI Governance: The China-BRICS AI Center Takes Center Stage
A cornerstone of the forum’s achievements is the rapid development of the China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center. Since its launch in 2024, the center has already trained over 100 professionals from 57 countries in AI technologies and governance – a crucial step in ensuring responsible AI deployment worldwide. The release of the “BRICS Artificial Intelligence Outlook Report” and the hosting of the BRICS Artificial Intelligence High-level Forum demonstrate a proactive approach to shaping the future of AI on a global scale. This isn’t just about technology; it’s about establishing ethical frameworks and ensuring equitable access to the benefits of AI, a topic increasingly vital for international stability.
Forging a Robust BRICS Digital Ecosystem
The BRICS Digital Industry Ecological Cooperation Network is gaining momentum, with 71 domestic and international organizations already applying to join since its April 2025 launch. This network is designed to foster a comprehensive and multi-layered digital industry ecosystem, injecting vital energy into the BRICS digital economy. Think of it as a digital Silk Road, connecting businesses and innovators across emerging markets. This collaborative approach is a direct response to the growing importance of digital infrastructure in the 21st century.
Expanding the Initiative for New Industrialization
The “Initiative on International Cooperation for New Industrialization” has broadened its reach, welcoming Myanmar, Congo, Cambodia, and the Gambia as new participants. Now encompassing 19 members, the initiative has entered a new phase with the release of the “Action Plan for the Initiative for International Cooperation of New Industrialization (2025-2026).” This expansion signals a growing global appetite for collaborative industrial development, particularly among nations seeking to diversify their economies and enhance their manufacturing capabilities. This initiative is particularly relevant for countries looking to leapfrog traditional development stages through strategic investment in new technologies.
New Centers of Excellence Unveiled
The forum witnessed the unveiling of two key centers: the China Center for Industrial Capacity of BRICS countries and the intelligent manufacturing and robot adaptation center for the BRICS innovation base. The China Center for Industrial Capacity will focus on bolstering cooperation in industrial innovation, digital transformation, and sustainable development, acting as a central hub for “Big BRICS Cooperation.” These centers aren’t just symbolic; they represent concrete investments in infrastructure and expertise designed to accelerate industrial progress within the BRICS nations.
Facilitating Trade and Talent Development
Beyond the centers, the forum also launched several initiatives aimed at streamlining trade and fostering talent. These include the “Digital Trade Connect” platform for industrial cooperation, a strategic partnership with global e-commerce leaders under “BRICS Excellent Products·Cross-border Win-win,” and the BRICS New Industry “Golden Heron” Excellence Scholarship, designed to cultivate skilled professionals in key industrial sectors. The release of “15 Advanced Applicable Technologies and Solutions for BRICS Countries,” along with standardized recommendations for industrial design and pharmaceutical cooperation, further underscores the commitment to practical, impactful collaboration.
The outcomes of the 2025 BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership Forum aren’t just a collection of agreements; they represent a concerted effort to reshape the global industrial landscape. By prioritizing AI governance, digital connectivity, and collaborative innovation, the BRICS nations are positioning themselves as key drivers of future economic growth and technological advancement. This forum signals a shift towards a more multipolar world, where emerging economies are actively shaping their own destinies and contributing to a more inclusive and sustainable global future.
